I am a Life Member of the DAV.
I agree, that's alot of money to be paid but I will also add that I do not know what each job entails to justify that kind of pay to be honest with you all and I am Not condoning it in the least bit.
They were there when I needed them and in return I wrote them a 1 time check for my Life Membership and I Volunteer to help any Veteran who needs it.
I don't get paid and I wouldn't take it anyway...Just Paying it Forward to those you need it and deserve it the most... Our Nations Disabled American Veterans and their Families...
Semper Fi,
Rocky

I am sorry but iam ****ed off about their salaries, i respect and honor them for getting hurt for our country, but when people like me and my gulf war brothers and sister try for disability and dont get it is it because these people are getting such hugh salaries i am sorry but it is rediculous . I am only living on 200 dollars a month for food stamps, i think i diserve a disability rating but because of these people salary i betthat is why azlot of our disability rating is turned away. Anyway semper fi and godbless my brothers and sisters stephen doc hansen hm3 fmf
Veteran Service Organizations salaries are not paid by the Department oif Veterans Affairs.
No they're paid by the vets who join these organizations, vets who give of their time and lives for free to help other vets while these pond scum get paid millions and that's even worse. I just retired and inquired about being a driver for the DAV. I just sent them a message that I'll do it for the same hourly rate as these hero's....I'm waiting for my approval....it might be a long wait

Doc You YoungBucks are My Hero's I just don't wanna see a new Crop of Vets get screwed like they did some of Us! But when I look @ the Suicide rate now and read about what You have too go through it saddens Me. Actually I was pretty Lucky 'cause if they had of given me a Doctor back then I probably would have been so Doped up that I could not of gone out and Dug ditches to feed my Family and Yes I Dug Ditches at one time just to put Food on our Table.But no Biggy I survived the BUSH I suppose I can just about handle anything even the VA.Goodluck 2 you Doc hang in there the Best that You can and I will Pray for You and your Brothers and Sisters whom have to go through this! Semper Fi your Friend Jack
