Why we exist
-
The Problem
Veterans are choosing suicide at a rate that places us in a category of our own, above the national civilian average. The leading cause of suicide in the veteran space is a lack of community, loss of meaningful connections, and loss of purpose, leading to isolation and hopelessness. When ignored or neglected, this trend advances down a path towards a terminal end.
-
The Challenge
Data shows that combat experience is not a causal factor of suicide in the veteran space, yet many resources are dedicated to those small populations. The preponderance of our veteran population who carry the highest risk of suicide has limited access to solution-based, community-focused suicide protection veteran resources.

The Solution
Patrol Base Abbate has no barriers to entry. Swearing an oath and wearing the cloth of the nation is the only requirement. Wherever you are and whatever interests you, we will connect you with a network of veterans who are where you are and also, who are pursuing the same interests. We facilitate strong community and meaningful connections as the antidote to suicide, and the starting point of renewed purposeful lives.
Patrol Base Abbate is a community for all veterans and service members to rest and refit inside friendly lines in order to deploy back to their local communities with a renewed sense of purpose.
Data shows that connection and purpose are essential elements for transition from service and continued success. We aim to facilitate connection and enable community before crisis.
