US Marine Force Recon Scout Sniper, Rudy Reyes, talks mental health, Force Blue, and PRoZE CBD

30 percent of active duty and reserve military personnel deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan have a mental health condition requiring treatment – approximately 730,000 men and women, with many experiencing posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and major depression.

Less than 50 percent of returning veterans in need receive any mental health treatment.

The Veterans Administration reports that approximately 22 veterans die by suicide every day.

FORCE BLUE seeks to address two seemingly unrelated problems — the rapidly declining health of our planet’s marine resources and the difficulty returning combat veterans have in adjusting to civilian life — through one, missionfocused program.

By uniting the community of Special Operations veterans with the world of marine science and conservation, FORCE BLUE has created a transpartisan model of caring, cooperation and positive change with the power to restore lives and restore the planet.
