Former SF 49ers star Alex Smith says veterans initiative helped him after life-threatening injury
Briefly

"There's something that I was just reading is so concerning to me, the fact that we're seeing more veterans taking their own lives, I was stunned to see the numbers are going up year to year."
"This is about us in our communities doing more, right, and not just on Veterans Day. Every day of the year... going forward. It can be from the smallest of things and conversations, and a cup of coffee and a meal."
"I didn't serve. You know, this connection for me comes back to my leg injury at the end of my career, and I was in a really dark place, right? I almost lost my leg, almost lost my life, and the only glimpse of hope for me was the folks in the military."
