Who really supports the troops?

Disabled American Veterans (DAV) was founded just after WWI when over 200,000 wounded American soldiers came home to a nation unprepared to deal with the personal carnage of the war.

America is now facing a similar crisis in veterans’ healthcare. At the DAV Web site (www.dav.org) you can input your zip code and find the voting records of your elected representative on disabled veterans’ issues. The DAV lists all the legislation that affects disabled veterans and tracks the votes of the House and Senate.
