🩸 “What If It Happens Here?”
Why Stop the Bleed Training Matters—Especially During National Preparedness Month
September is National Preparedness Month—a time when we’re all encouraged to reflect on how ready we really are to face emergencies.
At White Knight Solutions Group (WKSG), preparedness isn’t just a seasonal campaign—it’s our mission. And this month, we’re urging individuals, churches, and organizations across Northern Virginia and the Piedmont region to take a powerful next step:
Host a Stop the Bleed training—and be ready to save a life.
Two National Headlines. Two Possibly Preventable Deaths.
On August 22, 2025, a woman named Iryna Zarutska was fatally stabbed while riding a light rail train in Charlotte, North Carolina. Just two weeks later, political activist Charlie Kirk was attacked and killed at a public event in Utah.
Two tragedies. Two very different settings. But both have one thing in common:
A few minutes of well-trained action might have made the difference.
Severe bleeding can cause death in under five minutes—but first responders often take longer to arrive, especially in rural or suburban areas like much of our own region.
We can’t predict where the next tragedy will occur, but we can be trained to respond when it does.
What Is “Stop the Bleed”?
Stop the Bleed is a nationally recognized training that equips everyday people with the skills to respond to severe bleeding injuries before professional help arrives. In our WKSG-delivered course, you’ll learn how to:
Recognize life-threatening bleeding
Apply direct pressure correctly
Pack a wound to control bleeding
Use a tourniquet effectively
Act decisively and calmly under pressure
These are simple, life-saving actions anyone can learn—no medical background required.
Why National Preparedness Month Is the Time to Act
Preparedness isn’t just about fire drills and food storage. It’s about being mentally, physically, and spiritually ready to respond in the moments that matter most.
🗓️ National Preparedness Month is your opportunity to take that next step.
In the wake of recent events—and with threats ranging from accidents to active violence—now is the right time to act.

A Moment to Reflect
“Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to act.”
— Proverbs 3:27
Preparedness is not just about self-preservation. It’s about serving others when they need us most.
Training like this isn’t just tactical—it’s a ministry of presence and action. It’s how we love our neighbor in their moment of crisis.
