Helping Soldiers Transition to Society
Manage episode 431387947 series 3480568
Rev. Dr. James Thurman, State Commander & Second Vice for NABVETS, comments on the creation of and need for the National Association of Black Veterans. Soldiers of color coming home were not allowed to join veteran associations. So in 1972 NABVETS was issued a Congressional Charter in the tradition of the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), American Legion, etc. Today NABVETS help ensure that all veterans who come out of their service are not lost but have a way to help them to go back to lead a healthy life.
Contact NABVETS.com to learn more information about the services provided. Including Demise Benefits, Long Term Care, Caregiver Support and more. Each one essential to ensuring veterans receive the respect they deserve in making the sometimes-difficult transition from active duty to civilian life.
