Janice Topping signed Armed Forces Pledge 2026-10-11 08:27:25 +0100My son served and was traumatised by his time in Afghanistan. Unfortunately his PTSD was not acknowledged as he kept it hidden for so long, the specialised help was not offered soon enough and civilian mental health and addiction services were not equipped to help veterans as they have no understanding of the training our armed service personnel go through. When help was eventually offered it was too late and 4years ago he died by suicide.
Join Britain's Biggest Thank You To Veterans
Veterans have risked their lives, lost friends, and paid a price for their service that most of us will never understand.
For some, when the uniform comes off, the battle continues – from living with life-changing injuries or the mental toll of service to finding work, keeping a roof over their heads or making ends meet.
Sign the Pledge and tell them: we see what you sacrificed, we value your service and we haven't forgotten you.
Add signatureAdd your name, leave an optional message, and show the Armed Forces community that we're still with them.
