Project Overwatch is an initiative launched by Strength and Honor Motorcycle Club, an IRS registered 501 (c)(3) whose mission is to assist our veterans and public safety personnel with service related crisis and hardship. Every day 22 Veterans and a total of 113 Americans commit suicide. Over 41,000 Americans commit suicide each year. 22 Plus 3 includes all veterans and men, women, and children we lose to suicide in America each year. This challenge was created to raise awareness and support programs to reduce suicides.
