Dear Philip,
Meet a Hero: Wounded in Iraq
Philip, you have been a great friend to combat-wounded heroes in the past 10 years of war.
Will you honor 9/11 — and heroes like Michael — with your Patriot Day gift of $25, $50, $100 or more now?
After the towers fell in the terror attacks on 9/11/01, Michael Dinkel dropped all other plans. He chose to answer duty’s call.
He fought for you and me in Iraq. He gave his leg for our country!
That’s the kind of sacrifice you salute each time you choose to help heroes through the Disabled American Veterans (DAV).
Michael was wounded while coming to the aid of troops hit by a roadside bomb. Insurgents had planted a second bomb in the path they thought a rescue team might take. They were right …
A violent blast destroyed Michael’s right leg, broke his back, mangled his face, and knocked out four of his teeth!
But because you chose to be there through your fervent support of the leader in service to disabled veterans, Michael isn’t looking back.
Still, heroes returning from war today face big obstacles:
Bureaucratic errors and delays
Unemployment, hunger and homelessness
Depression and staggering suicide rates
Michael feels no self-pity, no regrets. He’s just grateful for your help.
Through the DAV, you cut through the red tape and demand that heroes get the help they need to move on with their lives.
Ten years ago we became a nation at war. Help show heroes like Michael that we appreciate their sacrifices as you make your Patriot Day Gift of $25 … $50 … $100 or more now!
Keeping Patriots Alive in Our Hearts!
