 For veterans recovering from the wounds of war, supporting one another is a lifesaver. I served in the United States Army in Vietnam, and that's when I stepped on a landmine that resulted in the traumatic amputation of both of my legs and my left arm above the elbow. I was alive, but I didn't know what the rest of my life had in store for me. Multiple deployments have caused a huge problem with those that served in Iraq and Afghanistan, and it's difficult for them to come back and adjust to civilian life. There were moments of frustration. I absolutely felt like I lost my purpose. I was looking at a long period of where I wasn't going to be able to do anything for myself. I just didn't want to be here. Many veterans feel alone until DAV steps into their life.
