DAV Helps Rebuild Lives

Dear Philip,

Meet Heroes Mark and Sunny Brogan
 Mark and Sunny Brogan

Because you change the lives of wounded heroes like Mark, he and his wife want to share their moving story with you.
It's a miracle that Mark Brogan survived the attack that left him  stretched out – still bleeding – on a street in Iraq, but war's wounds are deep and lasting.

As promised in my last e-mail, I plan to send you stories that show how your gifts help disabled veterans, and Mark's story shows why every disabled veteran is grateful for the way you reach out to heroes through the DAV.

Years have passed since that tragic explosion . . . since doctors replaced half of Mark's skull and told his wife that he might never walk or talk again.

But it's still a day-to-day struggle, as you'll hear Mark and Sunny explain in their video.

Mark's sleeve covers his ravaged arm
, Philip. You can't see his hearing loss or his wounded brain . . . and he's not alone:
  • One in three troops returning from Afghanistan and Iraq suffers the impact of PTSD
  • One in five lives with a traumatic brain injury (TBI)
The invisible wounds of war have turned so many of these lives completely upside down! They've absolutely crushed the hopes and dreams of so many families like Mark's.

That's why people like you are crucial as these young heroes struggle to reconstruct lives destroyed by war. Each time you give to the DAV, you lay down another building block in the life of someone who paid the price of freedom for you and me.

Thank you, Philip!
