 My husband is my best friend. My dad is my biggest supporter. My grandpa is my hero. My hero. My hero. America's disabled veterans are not only their family's heroes, but also our heroes, reminding us that freedom isn't free. On September 16, 1969, while serving Vietnam, the enemy detonated a 500-pound bomb that was rigged as a landmine. I lost my right hand at the wrist and I left arm at the shoulder. There was a point in my life when I wasn't sure if I was going to live and honestly, I'm not sure that I wanted to live. That, to me, is the darkest point in my life. For nearly a century, DAV has been supporting our veterans in their time of need and helping them secure the benefits they've earned, but they need your help. Your gift of this $19 amount helps veterans just like my grandpa. Without the DAV, there is no way that I'd be where I am today. I would never have the opportunity to rejoin my kids, my grandkids, to see I do have a purpose in life. Just 63 cents a day should you care about veterans like my grandpa. When you join with other patriotic Americans and give today, we'll send you this official DAV blanket as a thank you and a reminder of your commitment to help our brave service men and women. I am very grateful to all the support that DAV gave to me. However, I know that there are many others just like me who need your support. Please go online or call DAV right now. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Because of you, I have a husband. Father. A grandpa. A life fulfilled. Please call now. If operators are busy, please try again or go to helpdav.org. Thank you.
