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.

DAV would like to thank our partners at Humana for their informative seminar “Leave Memories, Not Bills: Understanding Final Expense Insurance & VETECARE - the Fusion of Military and Medicare benefits.”
During the seminar, the panel discussed topics impacting end-of-life costs and clarified the impact of combining Medicare and earned veterans benefits. We’re grateful for the continued support of our mission that Humana provides through their partnership with DAV.
