John,

I was only 12 years old when the September 11 attacks happened -- but the devastation of that day had a profound impact on me. So, when I turned 17 years old, I enlisted in the Marine Corps.

I wanted to make a difference in the world.

I was honored to serve overseas in Japan and Afghanistan. But like so many other veterans, when I returned home, I suffered from PTSD and had trouble transitioning to civilian life. Still, every time I attempted to file a disability claim, it was denied.

I knew I was not okay, and I just needed someone to listen.

A phone call to DAV changed everything.

As soon as I showed up for my first appointment with DAV, I felt welcomed. I had someone truly listening to me. They gave me the support I desperately needed -- they helped me heal.

As we enter into this season of thanks and celebration, I want you to know how much your support for DAV means to veterans like me. When we need a listening ear, a helping hand or just someone who understands, DAV is there. And it's YOUR support that makes that possible.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for supporting DAV -- and for everything you do for our nation's veterans.

Marine Corps Veteran

P.S. If you'd like to make a special gift today to support more veterans like me, it would mean the world. Your donation will help ensure DAV can continue to be a lifeline for ill and injured veterans when they need it the most.
