Staff Sgt. Michelle Young, a devoted US Army member and Instagram influencer, tragically took her own life at 34, leaving behind her 12-year-old daughter, Gracie. Close friend Sarah Maine, in a GoFundMe post, remembered Young as a “beautiful soul, an amazing friend, a single mother, a soldier,” shedding light on the hidden struggles she faced. Young, with 16 years of Army service and two tours in Afghanistan, exemplified dedication and sacrifice. Her poignant Instagram birthday message to Gracie highlighted the profound impact of motherhood.

Beyond her military role, Young, with over 100,000 Instagram followers, advocated for mental health treatment for veterans and fought against homelessness. In a September post during Suicide Prevention Week, she shared the pain of her older brother’s suicide, emphasizing the importance of seeking help. Young’s passing, seemingly successful outwardly, underscores the pervasive mental health challenges in the military. A GoFundMe campaign has raised nearly $25,000 for Gracie, emphasizing collective support. The tragedy calls for a reevaluation of support structures for those serving our nation, prompting reflection on the ongoing battle against mental health issues.
