Benefits Counseling Provided Free of Charge by Disabled American Veterans.
Military veterans in [the local area] can receive free counseling and
assistance with their government benefits when the 2008 Harley’s Heroes™
Tour comes to the Zylstra Harley Davidson and Buell. The 2008 Harley’s
Heroes™ Tour will include stops throughout the U.S. including over 175
Harley-Davidson dealerships where benefits assistance will be offered to
veterans of all ages in communities where they live.
The mission of Harley’s Heroes,™ made possible with the help of a $1
million grant from the Harley-Davidson Foundation to Disabled American
Veterans (DAV), is to provide assistance in obtaining benefits from the
Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for all veterans and to show
appreciation for their service and sacrifice to our country. While on the
2008 tour, DAV National Service Officers will provide benefits counseling
to those veterans who suffer from service-connected injuries but may never
have filed a claim for benefits or for those who have found it difficult
to work with the VA.

The Importance of Disabled American Veterans to Our Nations Veterans
Injuries suffered during military service sometimes take years to manifest
or can go years before being diagnosed.
Many veterans have injuries that go untreated or are uncompensated because
they do not understand how to work with the Department of Veterans
Affairs. Thanks to the DAV’s free services veterans can get the help
they need.
