Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America

Great at responding back to any and all questions. Professionals at heart who provide amazing services for Veterans.

Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA) helps veterans; they are a non-​partisan, 501©3 organisation; and, it is free to join.
To list everything IAVA has been instrumental in passing might take me an entire day. Let’s just start with the Senator Webb Post ⁹⁄₁₁ G.I. Bill; the backpay for stoploss (although our lovely Congress taxed the shit out of it; thanks, Obama); much-​much-​much work on the epidemic of veteran suicide (22 a day is way too fucking many).
Much work on that horrific VA claims backlog that seemingly will never go away (and, has not gone away). And, the Pat Tillman Foundation’s marathon, and countless morale issues like job training and sporting and live music concerts.
IAVA uses their national platform to help place the spotlight on veteran issues — specifically on the Capitol Hill — and, within communities where the veterans reside throughout the nation. IAVA is our generation’s VFW, but much less partisan.

The program is supposed to be for Veterans of the current wars in Iraq and afghanistan, but the only veterans receiving any benefits are the ones that live on the East coast. I have emailed the program many times asking about the west coast veterans I have not received any response.
