Coleman got a long over due Haircut. His hair went from hanging down in his eyes to really short for summer. For something different and unique, he received a design with his haircut.
Beforehand:
Coleman is the grandson of a Vietnam Veteran and even though he didn’t take his own life he battled with PTSD throughout his life and addicted to drugs and alcohol which both slowly destroys the mind and body. In our home we remember all veterans and pray that they can find the courage to reach out for help to overcome their struggles and inner pain.
The sad fact is that approximately 22 U.S. Veterans take their own lives every day. The 22 design in Coleman’s hairstyle is to remember the 22 and to help create awareness of the invisible deaths of veterans within the United States who give in to the struggles they battle within and take their own lives. Everyday, 22 veterans lose their battle to post traumatic stress on American soil. That is 1 veterans every 65 minutes.
It is important to remember and honour our veterans. If possible whenever you see someone reach out in kindness. You never know the pain they hold inside or the struggles they are silently battling within.

That haircut design is a wonderful gesture and reminder. We need to make every effort to honor and help veterans. We can’t possibly understand the weight they carry.

Thank you Dan! That is so true. Unless someone’s been in a similar situation we cannot truly understand their inner struggles. We definitely need to do more & honor veterans always.

Colemans 22 design looks wonderful, Deb, … and you are a credit to all grandmothers out there, … and I echo your feelings about veterans reaching out, … there should be so much more help out there, highlighting what’s important and what’s needed.

Mental Health & PTSD are major issues with not just veterans but with anyone who has suffered from trauma of any kind. We send our youth into war zones, but not enough is done to help them cope once they are back home.
