Veterans Day – Suicide Awareness
Nov 11 all-day
Veterans Day - Suicide Awareness

There are at least 24 Veteran Suicides Every Day

We think the number is more likely 24-25 Veterans a day.  That is over 9,000 former service members each year we are losing to Veteran suicides. And the rate of active-duty suicides has increased over the last five years.

These men and women volunteered and fought for our freedom.  They are not getting the services they need after returning home from war.  We can and should do better by them.

The Lifeline for Vets, in operation since 1985, is staffed by trained fellow Veterans.

A Sustainable Community for Veterans with Five Important  Components…

There is no way to adequately thank the men and women who sacrificed so much for our freedom and safety. But we can offer them a second chance – an opportunity to be successful members of a supportive community! The staff and volunteers at Rumshock Veterans Foundation are working to do all we can to offer veterans the opportunity to improve their physical, mental, and emotional health as well as reconnect with society through meaningful activities. There are five components to the Foundation’s sustainable program: 1) Rumshock Village, a tiny residential community of affordable housing for veterans; 2) Hydroponic Farming, maintained by Village residents; 3) Victory Transportation, to assist Village residents in making appointments to healthcare providers and other necessities; 4) E-Waste Recycling, involving the recovery of materials to be used in future production; and 5) Canine Companionship, for needed emotional support.

At Your Service @ The Landmark Inn
Sep 19 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm

Elected officials in the lower Hudson Valley region will serve dinner to guests at a recent fundraising event for veterans housing at the Landmark Inn in Warwick NY.

Described as “Public servants serving the public” the At Your Service event will include US Congressman Pat Ryan; NY State Assemblyman Karl Brabanec; NY State Senator James Skoufis; Warwick Town Supervisor Michael Sweeton; Candidate for Warwick Town Supervisor, Jesse Dwyer; Florida Mayor Dan Harter, Jr.; Greenwood Lake Mayor Matt Buckley; and Village of Warwick Mayor Michael Newhard.

The group was invited into service for the event to raise awareness about the need for affordable housing for America’s veterans, a cause that the Rumshock Veterans Foundation has been working on for the last three years, since its inception.

Each waiter team will be given a specific table to serve a three-course dinner that included salad, rolls, butter; a dual entrée of salmon and steak with roasted potatoes and vegetables; and chocolate cake, coffee, and tea. In addition, the waiter-officials had to bus the tables, clearing the plates and silverware, while attending to the requests of guests who preferred fresh ground pepper, or additional rolls, or substitutions. After all the guests had been served, they will join the guests to enjoy the dinner as well.

In 2022, Terry Anderson, was a guest at the dinner, is a former foreign correspondent in Asia, Africa and the Middle East. He served as chief Middle East correspondent for the Associated Press, as well as working as a newspaper editor, television and radio reporter and documentary producer. He is a former Marine and Vietnam veteran, and author of the best-selling book, “Den of Lions,” recounting the seven years he was held hostage in Lebanon. “This event is a great example of another way in which we can help our veterans,” said Anderson, who went on to urge other residents of the Hudson Valley to keep Rumshock on their radar.

Rumshock Veterans Foundation, a nonprofit founded in February 2019 to provide military members with post-service support, received $400,000 that was secured and announced by New York State Sen. Jen Metzger’s office in 2019. In 2022, NY State Sen. Mike Martucci, who had succeeded Metzger, continued the effort to secure the grant, which will be used to acquire property in one of Orange County’s first affordable housing projects for veterans, in Port Jervis.

There are five components to the Foundation’s sustainable program: 1) Rumshock Village, a tiny residential community of affordable housing for veterans; 2) hydroponic farming, maintained by Village residents; 3) transportation to assist Village residents in making appointments to healthcare providers and other necessities; 4) e-waste recycling, involving the recovery of materials to be used in future production; and 5) canine companionship, for emotional support.
