The Veteran's Memorial to the Living
This memorial was created by veterans for veterans. We aim to acknowledge veteran suicide at the crossroads of operational specialties, branches, races, ethnicities, and genders. Leaders from the Warriors Path co-designed and provided the initial content for VML. Warriors Path trains veterans to explore and lead conversations on moral injury.

VML is a collaboration between South African artist Paul Emmanuel, Warriors Path leaders and project director Katinka Hooyer.
