Cou​ntless veterans are currently suffering from life-threatening illnesses that are a result of exposure to asbestos, a material that was commonly used in hundreds of military applications, products, and ships because of its resistance to fire. We've created an informative resource guide to educate veterans on the health risks associated with asbestos exposure. Please take a look:

National League of Families of American Prisoners & Missing in Southeast Asia

Recent research by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has uncovered a concerning trend: veterans are twice as likely to develop dementia compared to the general population. This increased vulnerability stems from a combination of factors, including traumatic brain injuries and post-traumatic stress disorder, alongside the typical aging process. MemoryCare.com developed a comprehensive guide to memory care for veterans. This resource dives into the complexities of dementia and presents a range of treatment options, as well as highlighting various VA programs and resources. You can access the guide here

We recently updated our Mesothelioma and Veterans Guide. This free resource highlights:


• Veterans and Asbestos Exposure
• Filing a VA Claim
• Cancer Treatment for Veterans
• Types of Veterans Benefits

The National League of POW/MIA Families, incorporated on May 28, 1970, was formed to obtain the release of all prisoners, the fullest possible accounting for the missing and repatriation of all recoverable remains of those who died serving our nation during the Vietnam War. Without the League, America's POW/MIAs would long ago have been forgotten. The League is proud that our efforts led to today's worldwide mission. We are also proud that our flag is universally and legally ​recognized as the symbol of America's commitment to account for our POW/MIAs.
