Lt. Col. Stephen Collins, 244th Quartermaster Battalion

Lt. Col. Stephen Collins, 244th Quartermaster Battalion commander, encourages his Soldiers to look out for one another and always ask for help if they’re feeling overwhelmed during a Suicide Awareness Day talk here Sept. 16. “You wear a uniform that means a lot to this country, and it means something to me as well,” Collins said. “That’s the message I want you to remember from this day forward. You’re part of a well-respected team, and we’re always there for each other.” The battalion conducted the event in recognition of September’s Suicide Prevention and Awareness Month observance.
