U.S. Representative Seth Moulton (D-Massachusetts) voiced his support for a shorter, easier-to-remember version of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline when tweeting about World Suicide Prevention Day on Thursday this week.
The current number for the lifeline is 1-800-273-8255, but Moulton is among many politicians support the Federal Communication Commission's efforts to allow people to dial 988 to reach it.
September 11, 2001 will forever be remembered as one of the darkest days in American history.
It's a day that 2,996 people were killed by radical Islamic terrorists who hijacked planes and commit several attacks. That included hijacking American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175 out of Logan Airport in Boston and crashing into the World Trade Center.
