THE DAV VETERANS PULSE SURVEY An unprecedented look at veterans’ opinions T his year on Veterans Day, DAV released the findings from “The DAV Veterans Pulse Survey,” the largest, most comprehensive assessment ever taken to reveal how veterans of all generations view their military experience, benefits and overall quality of life. “We conducted this survey to promote deeper understanding of veterans’ perceptions and experiences, so DAV, the government and the American public can do a better job helping veterans succeed,” said Marc Burgess, DAV National Adjutant. “What we learned is that while veterans are proud of their military service, there are major gaps in the support and benefits they receive.” The survey, which is nationally representative of America’s 22 million veterans and was featured in The Wall Street Journal, found that veterans believe their service had a positive impact on their lives. In fact, 79 percent said they would “do it all over again.” However, the survey findings also reveal that only one in five veterans feel the government treats them well. 16 DAV MAGAZINE JANUARY | FEBRUARY 2016
