Posted on Sep 18, 2019

DAV partners with the VA to present the National Disabled Veterans Winter Sports Clinic at Crested Butte, Colo. The event draws nearly 100 veterans with traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, amputations, visual impairments and other disabilities. The event, which empowers participants to challenge perceived limitations through adaptive sports, will later move to Snowmass (near Aspen).

DAV is an organization of veterans helping veterans.

The reasons are as individual as our members. Some join for the fellowship at our more than 1,200 local chapters. Some for the inspiring national events. Others for opportunities to serve their fellow veterans and their families. And many join to continue the fight to support the rights and benefits of all veterans. DAV understands the needs of veterans because we are veterans—1 million strong. We invite you to join our cause.

“The lack of defined criteria for establishing presumptive conditions leads to inconsistency and undermines veterans’ confidence in the fairness of the system.” -Jon Retzer, DAV Deputy National Legislative Director

This article about Panama-era veterans being denied care highlights the fact that many toxic-exposed veterans have to wait far too long to receive the benefits they’ve earned through their service. As highlighted in DAV’s Ending the Wait for Toxic-Exposed Veterans, these veterans wait an average of 34 years to receive the full range of health care and benefits they’ve earned.

A veteran's service in Panama isn't covered by the VA. There are hundreds like him.
