A ‘Silent Watch’ will be held in front of the Hancock County Courthouse in honor of a local Veteran who took their life and to bring awareness to how many Veterans suffer from PTSD and die by suicide.

The event will be hosted by Allen-Kramp Wealth Management in honor and memory of their friend Gaven Smith and his fellow fallen.

Every day, 22 Veterans take their own life, and on Thursday, September 4 from 7 a.m. to 5:15 p.m. friends, colleagues and strangers will stand in Silent Watch in 22 minute increments to raise awareness for post-traumatic stress disorder and to show Veterans they don’t fight alone.

A flag-draped casket will honorably be carried from the backside of the Hancock County Courthouse to the front sidewalk by Veteran and active-duty military and set in place at 7 a.m.
