A tragic accident in the Marine Corps left Tony with an injured back that would never heal.
But that couldn’t stop him from going the distance for his fellow veterans.
A veteran willing to give a lifetime to DAV service — that’s Tony Baskerville and the devotion you unleash each time you join hands with DAV.
Even as a kid, Tony wanted to give back. So, when a medical discharge shattered his Marine Corps dreams, he joined DAV’s staff.
Our GIs came home from Vietnam, but their needs grew rapidly. The road
wasn’t easy for Tony’s generation, but he found strength in knowing he
could make life better for veterans in need!
Four decades later, he’s still driven to make that difference as DAV’s National Membership Director.
“I believe in DAV. I believe in what we do for our fellow veterans. We
don’t go down without a fight, and our accomplishments reflect that
fact.”
Tony also knows what it’s like to be on the receiving end of DAV
service: “The Marine Corps never properly evaluated my injuries. The
error might never have been corrected if not for my fellow vets at DAV,
who insisted on going to bat for me.”
So much is possible when veterans help other veterans! Embrace the power of service as you support the work of veterans like Tony with your gift of $25 … $50 … $100 or more now!
