Today marks the 34th anniversary of the beginning of Operation Desert Storm. When Iraqi forces failed to exit Kuwait, the resulting operation of coalition forces included 697,000 U.S. troops, resulting in a new generation of veterans being created. DAV salutes the brave men and women who served and sacrificed during this time. If you served during Operation Desert Storm, let us know about your experiences in the comments! #OperationDesertStorm

DAV National Commander Daniel Contreras recently attended Chapter Service Officer (CSO) Certification Training with Florida Chapter 133. During this training, volunteer CSOs were equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively assist veterans in navigating the complexities of the VA benefits system. These CSOs will continue to receive ongoing training and professional development to keep up with the ever-evolving policies and regulations within the VA. If you’d like to get help with your VA benefits, please visit benefitsquestions.org to get in touch with the nearest DAV office. #DAV #CSO #veterans #veteranbenefits #military
