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.
CONNECT WITH DAV
DAV would not be able to fulfill its mission without the generous support from our corporate partners. 🙌 Check out our Corporate Partners Newsletter, The Partner Promise, to read about some partner-lead initiatives that are helping DAV keep our promise to America’s veterans.
This Spring, we’re spotlighting DAV’s partnership with AirTalk Wireless which helps veterans stay connected in a digital world.

PTSD is often called the “invisible wound”—but its impact is real, lasting and deeply personal.
Thanks to decades of veteran advocacy, championed by organizations like DAV, PTSD is now recognized, researched and treated as a service-connected condition.
That progress didn’t happen by accident—and the work isn’t done.

Connection doesn’t end when military service does. In his latest Director’s Commentary, DAV National Membership Director Lamarr Couser shares how gaming, livestreaming and online communities are helping veterans find camaraderie, support and purpose in the digital age.
From Twitch streams to Discord communities, DAV is meeting veterans where they are — because no veteran should feel left behind.
