Don't Even Think About It | Irreverent Warriors

Walking alongside veterans during these @Irreverent_warriors Silkies Hikes gives me time to talk to others about important issues we face together as veterans. It amazes me that hundreds of people will show up so eager to give their perspective on why they feel the hikes are so important.

Silkies hikes are about bringing veterans together through our hikes and through humor. See you at the next one. We're in 60 different cities - step one is just showing up, so show up.

Sign up now to join the next hike!

The MISSION of Irreverent Warriors is to bring veterans together using humor and camaraderie to improve mental health and prevent veteran suicide.

The VISION of Irreverent Warriors is to be the force that unites the Veteran community and drives a healthy culture within its members. Through creative engagements, events, and strong Veteran-based support networks, we will be known as the catalyst for improving the Veteran outlook.

Why HUMOR? - ir·rev·er·ent - adj. - an inability to take serious things seriously.
We have experienced pain, tragedy, and trauma- both overseas and at home- and we have used humor as a coping mechanism.

Laughing in the midst of tragedy allows us to continue the mission without breaking down mentally every day. Irreverent Warriors are connected by three things.

1) Our shared experiences in the US military.
2) Our shared experiences as people who have dealt with pain, tragedy, and trauma.
3) Our tendency to use humor to get through pain, tragedy, and trauma.

How do we PREVENT Suicide? Irreverent Warriors are the men and women who have been prepared to kill and die for our country. We have laughed in the face of death, dismemberment, and the enemies of the United States.

Our MAIN EVENT … The Silkies Hike itself is The Prevention. We go 22K with 22kg representing the 22 military suicides a day.

The END RESULT is fewer veterans who kill themselves.
