The Gold Shield recognized that legislation alone cannot solve this crisis. The Gold Shield was created to get America’s businesses, our people, and highly esteemed Veteran supporters involved in stopping this ongoing epidemic. Whether you are a business who joins The Gold Shield, or a consumer who shops Gold Shield, you’ll be making a direct impact on the lives of our Veterans and their families. Together, we can help ensure that every Veteran will receive the help they deserve.
The Gold Shield has built a team of Veteran supporters who have powerful voices across all mass media – TV, Radio, and Print. This page is dedicated to those supporters, who are helping us stop this national disgrace.
The video below is a sample of the powerful voices who are crying out for our Veterans.

One of the integral parts of The Gold Shield is the operation of our national campaign to help raise awareness of the Veteran suicide epidemic, grow our member businesses, and increase funding to Veteran support organizations. Mykel has been a key part in expanding the reach of our national campaign, and has done so from the perspective of a decorated military Veteran.
Mykel Hawke joined the US Army in 1982. He served on active duty for a total of 12 years; he also served in the Reserves and Guard for 12 more years.

During his time of service, Mykel was committed as a leader, fighting and protecting us and his fellow soldiers. He continues this commitment of leadership today, as he helps The Gold Shield in saving those very soldiers from suicide when they return. Mykel realizes that our soldiers and our Veterans represent the best of us. Mykel is dedicated to putting an end to this on-going tragedy – a tragedy that can be fixed with The Gold Shield.
