Silent Watch

A Silent Watch was held outside the Hancock County Courthouse on Thursday, September 7th, as volunteers helped bring awareness to Veteran mental health and suicide prevention by standing guard beside a flag-draped casket for 22 minutes at a time in honor of the 22 Veterans a day who die by suicide.

Tom Hiatt, a United States Army veteran, and his son, Wade Hiatt, proudly stood guard at the event.
