Letter to the Editor: End of Havre DAV van is likely

Editor:

The Havre Disabled American Veterans van has come to a point that it will no longer be able to operate for lack of drivers and a coordinator.

  As of June 30 there is only one driver for the van and that is not enough to meet the needs of local veterans and guidelines of DAV. The van needs at least three more drivers and a coordinator to continue operations.

  At least 50 veterans in the area have used the DAV van in the past and will have to find another means to travel to medical appointments in the future.

  Montana DAV will try to re-establish an operation in Havre, but as it stands now, it is unlikely the van will continue in Havre. If you would like to help by being a driver or the coordinator call 406-262-3004 or 406-447-7760.

Lou Hagener,

Retiring DAV local area coordinator and driver
