Wade Spann, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, served three tours in Iraq. Once returning home, he battled with accepting that he suffered from PTSD. The biggest challenge was knowing there was nothing broken inside him. After DAV connected him to the right help and treatment through a vocational rehabilitation program, he now knows PTSD is not a weakness. His victory is viewing PTSD as post-traumatic growth.

DAV is a leading nonprofit charity that provides a lifetime of support for veterans of all generations and their families. Every year, DAV assists more than 1 million veterans in positive, life-changing ways by helping them access benefits they earned—like health care, education and disability benefits—and connecting them to meaningful employment opportunities. 

With the right support, more veterans will get the benefits they were promised by our nation. With DAV, and your help, more veterans will find their victory.
