In lieu of flowers, Charlie Daniels’ team is instead asking for donations to the Journey Home Project.
The Journey Home Project aims to help veterans of war return to civilian life by connecting them with organizations that do the most good for vets.
We will be making arrangements soon, but in lieu of flowers, please donate to Charlie’s charity, @TJHproject, whose goal is to assist vets adjust to civilian life. Almost everyday CD tweeted that 22 vets commit suicide a day. Support TJHP here: https://t.co/rQyLDfZdQI -TeamCDB/BW pic.twitter.com/T33IvLVlx1

The organization was founded in 2014 by Daniels and his manager David Corlew. Anyone who follows Daniels on Twitter has probably seen his almost daily reminder that 22 veterans commit suicide every day. He tweeted about that for nearly four years.
22 VETERANS COMMIT SUICIDE EVERY DAY!!
