Oscar Olguin, a U.S. Army veteran, lost his right leg in an explosion while serving in Iraq. Participating in events like the National Disabled Veterans Winter Sports Clinic, which is co-sponsored by DAV and the Department of Veterans Affairs, and spending time with other disabled veterans encouraged Oscar and helped him adapt to becoming an amputee. His victory is understanding that, with the right support, everything will be OK.

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 payments—and connecting them to meaningful employment opportunities. 

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