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.

Every caregiving situation is unique. Depending on needs, a caregiver may receive personalized support from a trained DAV Caregiver Support Specialist. Our specialists can help make complex issues easier, from navigating healthcare systems, exploring legal or home safety solutions, to finding the right resources for you.
And they are here to listen and to learn, so each caregiver receives the focused attention and support plan their situation requires, at no cost. Like caregivers, our support specialists make a difference every day and they are accessible, making reaching out easy and convenient when you need them.

Veterans shouldn't be asked to accept tradeoffs that pit one generation against another. We can fully support combat-disabled veterans, survivors, caregivers and suicide prevention without reducing earned benefits. Remove Section 108.
