<div>I'm Chuck Mueller, doing <em>some</em>thing by trying to ride my bicycle along Route 66 to raise money for veterans' mental health programs. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>When I served as a pastor for 42 years and as an Army Reserve Chaplain for a dozen years, I dealt with many PTSD issues -- and sadly, lost some of the 22 vets America loses every day to suicide. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We can't do <em>every</em>thing, but we can do <em>some</em>thing. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I'll be distributing funds I raise to two programs: 
</div>
<ul>
<li>The fine work of VFW Post 7539 supporting the social work outreach programs of <a href="https://www.va.gov/chicago-health-care/locations/jesse-brown-department-of-veterans-affairs-medical-center/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jesse Brown Veterans Medical Center in Chicago</a> and 
</li>
<li><a href="https://www.veteransrandr.org/operation-wild-horse" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Operation Wildhorse</a> of Bull Valley, Illinois, which uses rescued wild mustangs from the West to rescue veterans. 
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I know these two programs will have a direct effect on the mental health challenges of our veterans -- but you can also support your local VA hospitals and service centers directly.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>No matter what you support, let's get out there and remember these women and men who have secured our nation with their military service. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And let's make sure people know to call "<a href="https://988lifeline.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">988</a> " -- <a href="https://988lifeline.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the national suicide crisis line</a> number -- to talk to someone who understands and can help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>You can follow my journey on my Facebook page and Instagram.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thanks for doing <em>some</em>thing for veterans today!
