Retired Chief Warrant Officer 4 Clifford Bauman, now an author and self-described “mental-health warrior,” wears suicide-prevention awareness sneakers as he speaks about surviving his suicide attempt as part of the 7th Mission Support Command’s three-day "resiliency summit" Sept. 11, 2025, at Sembach Kaserne, Germany.
