The Disabled Veteran Empowerment Network Mission Statement

DVEN has a Two-fold Mission:

  • To connect disabled veterans, their caregivers, and supporters with benefits provided by the Veterans Administration and other veteran charities that provide genuine support, and
  • To play a meaningful role in reducing the suicide toll of America’s veterans

Thank you for helping us support America’s disabled veteran community.

Warm regards,

Robert Hess
