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.

Olympics season isn’t over. Today kicks off the 2024 Paralympics in Paris, and we’d like give a special shout out to DAV member and #TeamUSA athlete Melissa Stockwell. Melissa is an Army veteran and a three-time Paralympian who will be competing in the triathlon. In the latest episode of #DAVPodcast, Melissa talks about her life as a disabled veteran, athlete and mother. Listen here: dav.org/news-media/podcast. #paralympics2024 #ParisParalympics
Please add your support for S. 3885, the Veteran Caregiver Reeducation, Reemployment and Retirement Act by clicking here: dav.la/s3885. This bill would provide caregivers additional support from the VA, including employment assistance, retirement planning and bereavement counseling, if their veteran loved one no longer requires caregiving services due to recovery, requiring a higher level of care or passing away.![]()

No caregiver who takes on the role of caring for one of our nation’s veterans should have to feel uncertain about their future, and their financial security should not be threatened because they kept the promise to care for those who have served our nation. Our nation’s ill and injured veterans and their caregivers deserve better.![]()

We call on all DAV members and supporters to contact their senators and urge them to co-sponsor and support S. 3885, the Veteran Caregiver Reeducation, Reemployment and Retirement Act.
