Serving as a combat medic in the Army put a lot of wear and tear on Yusuf Henriques’s body. His knees are bone-on-bone, he has a traumatic brain injury, and he was exposed to toxins. With help from DAV, Yusuf was able to get the full disability benefits he earned and start two different healthcare technology companies. Together with his fiancée, he’s working hard to improve the lives of other veterans.
DAV is a nonprofit that provides a lifetime of support for veterans of all generations, their families and survivors. Every year, our no-cost services help nearly 1 million veterans access the benefits and health care they’ve earned while connecting them with meaningful employment.
With the right support, more veterans can find their victory.

For Latoya Lucas, becoming a veterans advocate started from her hospital bed at what is now Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
Lucas remembers waking from a deep, medicated sleep and seeing a card left by her bed. The card was from DAV.
“Just so I knew that they were there,” she said.
As someone whose life had just been forever changed by war, Lucas knew how a small gesture could be deeply meaningful. Soon, her husband was pushing her in a wheelchair, going room to room visiting other wounded service members and trying to lift their spirits.
“I couldn’t serve in uniform anymore, but I knew I wanted to continue to serve in another way,” she said.
