On Veterans Day, Shaheen, Cotton Applaud Senate Passage of Resolution to Establish National Warrior Call Day

(Washington, DC) – U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), a senior member of the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee , and U.S. Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) announced their resolution to designate November 15, 2026, as National Warrior Call Day passed the U.S. Senate unanimously on Veterans Day. Their bipartisan resolution emphasizes the need for all Americans to reach out and build meaningful relationships with both those currently serving and veterans to help fight mental illness and combat the epidemic of suicide among military members. “No veteran should ever feel alone while struggling with their mental health, especially after sacrificing so much to defend our freedoms abroad. Warrior Call Day is one vital way that we can help connect veterans with resources while also reducing the stigma around asking for help and mental health care,” said Senator Shaheen. “I’m proud my Senate colleagues once again recognized the importance of our bipartisan resolution to designate Warrior Call Day because the health and well-being of the men and women in the military shouldn’t be a partisan issue.” “Our military members and veterans deserve the support and resources they need to lead active, healthy lives after serving. This bipartisan resolution will raise awareness on the importance of service members’ mental health, and I’m glad to see it pass the Senate unanimously,” said Senator Cotton.
