🇺🇸 22 minutes to stand. 22 minutes to remember.

Join us for Silent Watch on **September 9 from 7:00 AM to 5:30 PM** as we honor Gaven Smith and his fellow fallen veterans while raising awareness about veteran su***de.

For 22 minutes, participants stand in silent watch as a reminder of those we have lost and of the importance of continuing to support the veterans who are still with us.

🕯️ Want to reserve a specific time? You can sign up for a 22-minute time slot through AK Wealth Management’s SignUpGenius.

But registration is NOT required.

If you’re able, simply come and stand with us. Whether you reserve a time or join us when you can, your presence matters.

22 minutes to stand.

22 minutes to make sure this conversation is not silent.

🇺🇸 We’re at the Hancock County Fair all week and weekend, but TODAY we’re hanging out with our veterans in the Old Millstream Building!

We kicked off the day with coffee, doughnuts, and plenty of fellowship. ☕🍩

And we’re just getting started!

Come spend some time with us, reconnect with familiar faces, meet someone new, and enjoy Veterans Day at the Fair.

🇺🇸 Just 22 minutes... That's all we ask!

For 22 minutes, participants stand in silent watch to remember the veterans we’ve lost to su***de and to remind those who may be struggling that they are not forgotten.

Leah with AK Wealth Management shares how Silent Watch was brought to Findlay and why this annual tradition continues to matter so deeply to our community.

For five years, AK Wealth Management has helped make this local observance possible, bringing veterans, families, friends, businesses, and community members together in remembrance and awareness. (The Courier)

🇺🇸 What a day, yesterday!

We started the day in Fostoria spending some time with Rex Howard on the radio, sharing all the things coming up for Hancock County veterans and their families. A big thank you to 106.3 The Fox, 100.5 WKXA, and 1340 WFIN for giving us the opportunity to get the word out!

Then it was back to the office for our annual meet-the-staff cookout. 🌭🍔

And apparently a little rain doesn’t stand a chance against good food, good friends, and our veteran community. 😎☔️

Thank you to every veteran, family member, friend, and community supporter who stopped by to eat, visit, meet our team, and check out our new home at 401 Olive Street.

Days like this are some of our favorites.
