The Challenge
NVLSP has worked since 1980 to ensure that the government delivers benefits owed to 25 million of our nation’s veterans and active duty personnel. Increasing awareness of their cause allows NVLSP to better position themselves as the “watchdogs” of the American war fighter. As part of that effort, the nonprofit organization hosts an annual fundraiser. In 2013, NVLSP approached 522 tell the story of their highly successful legal action, Nehmer v. U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs – a class-action lawsuit that granted over 4 billion dollars in retroactive benefits to veterans of the Vietnam War.
