Happy Veterans Day! Celebrating Almost Two Decades of Veterans Mental Health Policy Work!

Written By NAMI Montana

November 11, 2025

This Veterans Day, we took a few minutes to record a video highlighting the major Congressional wins for Veterans Mental Health that we’ve achieved since 2008. We also highlighted some of the incredible Veterans who inspired key pieces of legislation:

  • Chris Dana

  • Scott Hannon

  • Mike Franklin

We honor them by continuing to fight to improve the lives of veterans and their families.

What the Video Covers

The video closes with a description of four major initiatives we are currently advancing for Veterans Mental Health.

Thank You to Our Supporters

We are deeply grateful to all of our supporters, colleagues, and policymakers who make this work possible—especially Emily Blair Rubright and the Trans-Montana Snowmobile Riders:

These efforts are essential to our work at NAMI Montana. Thank you all for making them happen.

Sincerely,
