Well.... not me. But that's only because I've already paid in full for a lifetime membership! :-)
The DAV was a huge help in working with the VA when I filed a disability claim. Their services are free, but I was so grateful for their assistance and impressed with the organization that I joined right away. I highly recommend the Disabled American Veterans organization.
I too am grateful for the assistance I recieved in filing for my disability claims about a year ago. The guys manning the local office at the Houston VA have been a lot of help with that. They however thought they were being helpful when they steered me to what they said was a local active chapter in my neck of the woods.
Went by the address they supplied me and the building (an old canteen/dancehall/gameroom) was all boarded up and appeared to have been for sometime. I visited a web site for the national DAV and only found mention of a Forth Worth, TX chapter as being the supposedly only other chapter near me.
I live about 40+ miles north of Houston (just barely due south of Cleveland, Tx) and the Porter, Tx chapter was the nearest to me supposedly. How can I find out what chapter really is nearest me in the 77372 zip code?
