Representative Andre invites members to meet veterans group promoting suicide prevention
Summary
Representative Andre urged members to meet the group 'Anonymously Grateful' in Room 305 from 1:00–2:00 p.m. and said 'approximately 20 veterans commit suicide on a daily basis,' framing the visit as outreach and support for veterans and funeral‑service assistance.
Representative Andre used a floor announcement to highlight veteran suicide‑prevention work and to invite House members to meet a visiting group from the Quad Cities. Andre said the group, "Anonymously Grateful," would be in Room 305 from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. and noted the group's local role providing services for military funerals.
On the floor Andre said, "In this country today, approximately 20 veterans commit suicide on a daily basis," and asked members, especially veterans in the chamber, to attend the meeting and learn about the group's mission. The announcement was ceremonial and informational; no legislative action was proposed on the floor.
