Bobby Barrera, a Vietnam veteran, was hit with a 500-pound bomb rigged as a land mine. As a result, he lost his right hand, left arm and has burns over 41% of his body. For a long time, Bobby didn’t see a future worth living. Once he met his wife, Maricelia, and began receiving support from DAV, he knew everything would be okay. His victory is a happy marriage.

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.
