A MESSAGE FROM THE NATIONAL COMMANDER

The National Association for Black Veterans, Inc. recognizes and honors Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr. for his unwavering  commitment to social justice through peaceful nonviolence means.  This message would resonate not only in the United States but abroad as well.  Dr. King made mention that the lack of adequate health care and poverty are issues that true Americans can not be silent about. He stressed that “injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”  

This philosophy continues today and is well rooted within the mission of NABVETS, Inc. Our mission is to advocate vigorously with federal, state, and local government as well as the general public on an ongoing basis and on behalf of its members to:  1) ensure veterans receive equitable benefits earned through their service and sacrifice, 2) voice challenges and issues disproportionately affecting all veterans particularly minority veterans, 3) advance solutions to improve the quality of life for veterans and their families, our nation youths and our communities, and 4) highlight veterans contributions in and out of service to this nation.
​
I solicit those that are members of this great organization to continue to support this mission as we add value to this nation as we address those things Dr. King mentioned by assisting veterans with obtaining their rightful benefits and health services.  Let’s grow in this mission and grow in membership.  Join NABVETS, Inc. today!

Greetings,

I am a 100% P&T disabled combat Veteran and volunteer Veterans’ advocate.
I believe that Veterans cannot live without honor and misattribution of military trauma (MMT) such as PTSD, MST, TBI, etc. to "personality disorders" might save the DoD and VA money, but also stigmatizes (dishonors) Veterans which can contribute to suicidal ideations.
My bill, THE PERSONALITY DISORDER MENTAL DIAGNOSTIC IMPROVEMENT ACT is in harmony with the CDC’s 7 pillars of suicide prevention and is designed to force both DoD and VA clinicians to follow the standard of care for General Personality Disorders in the Diagnostic Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) to avoid further MMT.
I have already put this issue before my own state representatives (Rep. Trevor Jacobs, Rep. Jake LaTurner, and Sen. Marshall), but passage of the bill will require general public support.
Therefore, I’m seeking to partner with you on this matter.
Is this something you could help promote statewide and nationally?
Thank you

“General Personality Disorder”, DSM-5 (645-646): “This chapter begins with a general definition that applies to each of the 10 specific personality disorders…[which] are grouped into three clusters based on descriptive similarities...”
