Review for Disabled American Veterans (DAV) Charitable Service Trust, Erlanger, KY, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I attended a Vets Journey Home sponsored by the Starfish Foundation last August. I am a Vietnam vet serving as an WAF medic. I did not see overseas action but was stationed at a hospital that treated the "walking dead"... men who had shut down due to being in Nam and what they did,saw and experienced there. IT was a cathartic time for me dealing with 40 plus year old issues that I had buried. The staff and volunteers there were great and helped me so much to exorcise my demons. If you can help continue this wonderful efforts for the 'Nam vets, it would be fantastic.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
