Captain David Schnell is a retired Navy officer who now serves as vice president of operations for the electronic tolling collection division of Xerox’s Americas Commercial and State Government Transportation Group in Los Angeles. Faithful to his military legacy, Captain David Schnell is a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 15005. A number of natural disasters ravaged the continental United States, Puerto Rico, and other American territories in 2017. Through its Unmet Needs Program, however, the VFW says it was able to provide $684,000 in emergency relief funding to help more than 2,000 veterans and their families start the recovery process in the wake of Hurricanes Harvey, Maria, and Irma, as well as the California wildfires. In addition, many VFW volunteers provided front-line support to these communities. In Puerto Rico alone, VFW Post 12064 handed out upwards of 1,000 meals and clean drinking water to veterans struggling in the wake of the disaster. They also helped clear away debris and assisted veterans in locating temporary lodging and finding other resources to help them get back on their feet.
