## Resource

Congressman David Valadao’s new Tours Act seeks to revolutionize veteran suicide prevention by formally studying the impact of faith-based chaplains and spiritual programs—currently overlooked in VA reports. Drawing from real-world experience, Justin Bond of Our Heroes’ Dreams explains how spiritual support, paired with practical and academic tools, can heal trauma, rebuild purpose, and save lives. His organization, born from personal loss and battlefield wounds, now offers holistic solutions—from housing to marriage counseling—to help veterans thrive beyond combat. This bill isn’t just policy—it’s a lifeline. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
