August 2017 Testimonial
Where has the summer gone? Students are going back to school and the coolness of the impending fall season is in the air. Summer heat is slowly dissipating, but the joy and warmth of sharing our mission with veterans and their family members is what keeps the National Association of American Veteran’s spirit alive no matter the season.
NAAV is happy to share a few more late summer testimonies with you as we can not express our sincere gratitude to all those who have contributed their time, effort, monetary giving, and talent with our organization throughout this year. Notes and letters we receive from veterans and their family members because of the support you/we all provide is humbling to say the least.
Now, even more than ever veterans need our support and are truly blessed by your continued generosity. That is why NAAV is so proud and eager to share testimonies with you every month, because you are a part of the positive re-enforcement to our veterans and positive rewards.

August Testimonies continue to pour back into the NAAV mailbox from individuals who have received assistance and support over the past few months:
Good evening Ms. Burns, and thank you for your email.
I just wanted to check in with you and let you know my father and I have been working on his paperwork and getting our letters together.
He just read me his rough draft on the phone and I read mine. Not a dry eye between the two us from California to Colorado.
One of the questions we both have that we were hoping you could answer is to whom should we address our letters?
He will be scanning me his bills, income paperwork, etc. tomorrow.
Thank you so much for your assistance and the generous time you provided to me and to my father over the telephone.
We look forward to being in contact with you soon. Kind regards, California resident
