Are DAV programs really necessary since there have been no recent wars?
As the disabled veterans’ population ages, their need of assistance increases…the need has never been greater. While America suffered relatively few deaths and casualties in the Persian Gulf War of 1990, no one could have visualized the tens of thousands of Gulf War veterans to eventually suffer from the so-called Gulf War Syndrome of unexplainable illnesses. Our services intensified following that conflict and remain high ready to serve our Iraqi and Afghanistan veterans. We serve veterans of all conflicts, amputees, blind veterans, those suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Agent Orange exposure ailments, radiation survivors and so on — the full spectrum of disabled veterans.
