NVF National Veterans Foundation Home For Old

Sometimes while abusing that old man on street for walking slowly, ignoring that old man in enquiring a fact hundred times in the office, humiliating that old man for not doing the prescribed work fast, people do not think a second time that these elderly men and women are vulnerable and the people abusing will also reach the same age one day. Perhaps this is the reason why 26 million veterans United States face nasty abuses, insults as well as disrespect and homelessness. Here is where NVF comes into action.

He counseled soldiers in the field suffering from psychological and emotional problems. To continue giving support to the veterans he found Vietnam Veterans Aid Foundation (VVAF) in 1985. It later on changed its name to National Veterans Foundation in 1992 to give support not only to the veterans and family of Vietnam wars but of all wars and instances.
