It was a busy and impactful day for Platoon 22!

Today, we had the opportunity to participate in a Health & Wellness Fair with the incredible team at Sierra Nevada Corporation in Hagerstown. With more than 30% of their workforce made up of veterans, it was a great chance to connect with those who have served, share resources, and continue building relationships with a company that understands the value veterans bring to the workforce.

At the same time, we’re proud to celebrate our Board Vice President, Scott McCaskill, who served as a panelist at the Nonprofit Summit. Scott shared his insight, leadership, and passion for strengthening nonprofit organizations and the communities they serve.

June is Veterans PTSD Awareness Month, and Platoon 22 was proud to present an official citation from Senator Mike McKay, County Executive Jessica Fitzwater and Washington County Commissioners, recognizing the leadership and collaboration that helped establish the Frederick and Washington Counties Regional Veterans Treatment Court.

This innovative program is changing lives by connecting veterans facing the challenges of PTSD, trauma, and other service-related struggles with the resources, accountability, and support they need to succeed. 🤝

Every veteran who walks through our doors has a story.
Some stories are filled with triumph. Others are marked by loss, struggle, transition, or challenges that most people will never fully understand. No two journeys are the same, but they all deserve to be heard, respected, and supported.

At Platoon 22, we don’t see case numbers or statistics. We see people. We see fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, friends, leaders, and neighbors who have served something greater than themselves.

We could use a few extra volunteers for tomorrow’s sold-out Frederick Keys game!

The gates open at 5:00 PM, and first pitch is at 6:00 PM, but we’ll need volunteers to arrive early for setup and prep. If you’re able to help, please plan to arrive between 3:30 PM and 4:00 PM.

We’ll be working the concession stand, and most volunteers will be finished around the 7th inning.

This is a great opportunity to support Platoon 22 while helping us raise funds to continue serving veterans in our community.

If you’re available, please let us know as soon as possible. [email protected]

June is PTSD Awareness Month, and for many veterans, the battle doesn't end when they come home.

At Platoon 22, we see firsthand the impact PTSD can have on veterans, first responders, and their families. We also see the power of connection, support, and community in helping people move forward.
This month, help us raise awareness, reduce stigma, and remind those struggling that they are not alone.

Our limited-edition PTSD Awareness Month shirts are now available. Every shirt helps support the mission of Platoon 22 and the programs that provide year-round care, peer support, transportation, advocacy, and resources for those who have served.

Wear the message. Start the conversation. Support the mission.
Together, we can make sure no veteran fights their battles alone.

⚾️ We had an awesome first night running the 3rd Base Side Concession Stand at the Frederick Keys game!

Tonight, we’re doing it all again. If you’re coming out to cheer on the Keys, make sure you grab your food, drinks, snacks, and treats from the 3rd Base Side Concession Stand. A portion of every purchase from that stand helps support Platoon 22 and our mission to serve veterans, first responders, and their families.

Come enjoy a great night of baseball, support a local nonprofit, and help us continue changing lives one veteran at a time.

See you at the ballpark! 🇺🇸⚾️
