Attn: ALL VETERANS AND HISPANIC VETERANS
DAV, NSO, Supervisor Andy Marshall of the DAV Regional Office in St. Petersburg, Fl. allowed a Hispanic Veteran to be coerced, threatened and forced to withdraw the claim for retroactive benefits.
Proof with a letter from a US Senator's Assistant who was witness when this was said and done.
In the 2009 May issue of the DAV magazine Mr. Marshall gets credit for getting another veteran 62 years of retroactive benefits.
DISCRIMINATION AND DISPARATE TREATMENT,
VIOLATION OF CIVIL RIGHTS ACT of 1964 Title VI
Hispanic Veterans and all Veterans should boycott the DAV. JOIN THE AMERICAN LEGION OR VFW BUT NOT DAV.
I wrote the National Headquarters, Mr. Ed Reese, NSO Director, he did not respond. I spoke with Mr. Maki and said he would call me after the convention. Haven't heard anything. I asked to speak with DAV Atty. Mr.Clay, nothing.
I always thought the DAV was a good organization and donated $1000 in Honor to the only NSO who ever helped me who happened to be Hispanic.
I am convinced that the only way to stop this Racism by all of them who don't care from happening is to expose it and let all Hispanics know not to join the DAV. If you want more details please email me at [email protected]
