DAV is an organization of veterans helping veterans.
The reasons are as individual as our members. Some join for the fellowship at our more than 1,200 local chapters. Some for the inspiring national events. Others for opportunities to serve their fellow veterans and their families. And many join to continue the fight to support the rights and benefits of all veterans. DAV understands the needs of veterans because we are veterans—1 million strong. We invite you to join our cause.

Have you ever wondered what it would have been like to be injured on a battleship in the 1800’s? During a special D-Day anniversary event in Boston, DAV got to take a tour of the USS Constitution, where living history interpreter Matthew Villamaino, who specializes in 19th century medicine, walks us through a military surgeons’ role on a battleship.
On June 12, 1948, President Truman signed into law the Women’s Armed Services Integration Act, which enabled women to serve as permanent, regular members of the military. DAV recognizes the incredible contributions of the many female service members who were brave enough to answer the call of duty.
