Mission Statement
THE MISSION OF FORGOTTEN NOT GONE IS "STOMPING OUT VETERAN SUICIDE" We accomplish this by getting Veterans physically and socially active within society. Too many Veterans isolate, shutting off the outside world until it is too late. #TooDamnMany Veterans are taking their own lives each day in America. We find that physical activity is one of the surest ways to get Veterans engaged back into a healthy active social life.
Description
We Provide and Maintain a Fleet of Velomobile Recumbent trikes (3 and 4 Wheel Bicycles, some with electric assist) FREE of charge to ride for our local Veterans to #GetOutTheDamnHouse and learn to live life #StigmaFree.
#FNG is Proactive in Veteran Suicide Prevention by addressing the triggers of suicide and WHY it’s happening. We provide practical resources to fulfill the needs of our Veterans and we prevent the negative effects that would incur from not having access to them.
Located in Las Vegas, the Entertainment capital of the world, The Battle Born State of Nevada, #VegasStrong, and yet ground zero for one of the HIGHEST Veteran suicides rates in the Nation.
