Wreath we placed today at our son's grave for Christmas season. PO2 Ben Demers, USN, forever 26, forever loved, forever missed. Active and veteran suicide continues to take the lives of our loved ones who wore the uniform of the U.S. military.

Edan, I was a Sailor, cussing makes me feel at home! Hello! You already got a cat picture, so here's a penguin.pic.twitter.com/GfSVbkSvBx

Thank you, I would have missed this. Ben would have been in Heaven. One of best days in his life, he said, was penguin feeding time at New England Aquarium. This guy was his, keeps me company in livingroom.pic.twitter.com/htaEXjPQRl

Today marks 2 years. 2 long hard years since my incredible son, MMN2 Benjamin A Demers, USN, died by suicide. Part of the military epidemic and their dirty little secret. He asked a shipmate for help, didn't get it. COs reply,it was their choice to help or not. 1/pic.twitter.com/HHSQ3SpqxY

The U S Virgin Islands in a home close but not too close to the ocean built to withstand Mother Nature. The ocean soothes this disabled vet's soul. I wouldn't mind staying here in Maine on the ocean either near my children and my son's grave.pic.twitter.com/7mzZkpCo85

When my active duty son died by suicide, http://Homefronthugs.org was there to help me through. Their support in large part is why I'm not just another statistic too. They are the ONLY group that helped a 100% disabled vet. Please help them continue their work.

Ben was snarky type hid large heart. He helped people when no one looking. Youngest of 4. Loved history and debating, wanted to be a lawyer. Adored his family and wanted his own. Depression got the best of him 3,000 miles from home. Kept it from me, our last words, I love you.pic.twitter.com/iHW2YlXqnz

Thank you and thank you for helping
@HomefrontHugs. My son, Ben, was a beautiful human being and the world is lesser without him. I am lesser without him.pic.twitter.com/5aMUSL5OU1

Went to ceremony today for 22+1 we lose daily, rang bell for my son. Then I read Trump wants more than 2 terms and pay to play is a private matter. I have to wonder, what did my son and others serve and then die for? Why are so many disabled for life? What happened to USA? Enoughpic.twitter.com/XKXT3DWHm6

I'll tell you where I've been the last 16 months. Sitting at home, unable to work, living on my VA disability benefits, grieving the loss of my son, Navy PO2 Benjamin A Demers who died September 18, 2016 by suicide, the epidemic crushing the active and vet community. You?pic.twitter.com/fjYtNutns7

18 long months w/o Ben, my lifetime to go. I used to count his age in months, now I count his death. I'm not afraid to say suicide, we can't fix problem if we don't name it. I believe non-profits do more to reduce numbers than DOD and VA. Ben is forever 26, loved & missed.pic.twitter.com/A4l8WYLcQI

@NukeKelnish He's not a penguin, Ben, but I think you would have loved this. Coming up on 18 long months without you; I miss you so much, the world is dimmer without your light. This is what has helped me make sense of your loss. I love you, my son.pic.twitter.com/0UsUeKc3GS

I've been a volunteer/follower for a few years. My dogs are keeping my Navy son company in Heaven. They stood the watch and now stand the watch with my Ben forever.pic.twitter.com/aLYEn0pf47
