Thank you, Sam for putting up the information on DAV. My husband is the Department Service Officer at DAV in Kerrville, Texas, and he says it is sad that many people have no idea that DAV helps veterans with disability claims, in addition to the many other things they do.

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?

Maybe you can help Ron H with his problem of trying to find a chapter in Texas near him.

Thanks for your post. Tell you husband thank you for what he does. The DAV has been a God send to many of our Vets who needed help with their claims, including my brother. :)
