Air Force Staff Sgt. Tyler Kennedy, a cyber transport supervisor with the 673d Communications Squadron, checks competition items off of a list while his teammate, Airman 1st Class, Kevin Curry, a cyber transport technician with the 673d Communications Squadron, does weighted lunges during a CrossFit competition apart of a Suicide Prevention event at Buckner Physical Fitness Center at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, Sept. 22, 2017. The Alaska Army National Guard partnered with the Anchorage Chapter of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention in sponsoring a Suicide Prevention Awareness Month 5K walk/run and CrossFit Challenge. The event was hosted at Buckner Physical Fitness Center on JBER. Community resources that assisted with the event were the Anchorage Veterans Center, Veteran Affairs Suicide Prevention, Traumatic Brain Injury clinics, the Behavioral Health Office, Employer Support for the Guard and Reserve, and several local mental health providers. They provided tables that highlighted information and services that are available for military personnel and families. The theme of the event was, "There is a Hero in All of Us," and people were encouraged to wear T-shirts of their favorite superhero logo.
