There are many organizations that help veterans, and sometimes they overlap. In fact, there is often much overlap, but each major group does have a positive specialty of some type, such as Paralyzed Veterans of America, Nevada Chapter. 
 
As with most veterans groups, one of the first rules of order is to assist their members in filing for any benefits they may be entitled to. The president of the local chapter, Dan Kaminski, is proud to point out that the top priority of the PVA is to help the nation’s veterans who face a lifetime of tough new challenges adjust to life with severe disabilities. 
 
“We take care of the spinal cord injured and spinal cord dysfunctional veterans. And we take care of those with MS (multiple sclerosis), and ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) and quite a few different things. We try to make their lives as best as possible, and take them through the VA (Veterans Affairs) system and see that they are getting all their benefits,” Kaminiski said.
