Building better lives for our
nation's
disabled veterans.
Treaties are signed and the battles
of nations end, but the personal battles of those disabled in war only
begin when the guns fall silent. These men and women must struggle to regain
health, reshape lives shattered by disability, learn new trades or professions,
and rejoin the civilian world. At each step, they need help to help themselves.
For three quarters of a century now, that aid has come from the Disabled
American Veterans (DAV), a nonprofit organization of more than one million
veterans disabled during time of war or armed conflict.
On July 1, 1979, 30 veterans
from this area met and chartered DAV Eastern Shore Chapter 34, Inc.
