#CarrytheRound
#CarryTheRound is a Worried About a Veteran (WAV) campaign that encourages open conversations and practical steps to support Veterans and their families. This campaign invites you to reflect on moments when you stepped up to support a Veteran—or wish you had.
Why not have a lifesaving conversation over a cup of coffee?
Coffee brings people together. It’s a way to spark crucial conversations about Veteran well-being and secure gun storage. At WAV, we provide the tools to help start these conversations, which can build critical time and space before a moment of crisis—and save your Veteran’s life.
When did you need to carry the round?
Acts of support—from sharing a conversation over coffee to ensuring ammo is stored safely—can make a big difference in a Veteran’s life. Join us on social media by sharing your moments of support or committing to reaching out to a Veteran or their loved ones. Together, we can make a meaningful difference—one conversation, one supportive action, one round at a time.
