VETERANS PRESS: Disabled American Veterans Organization

We serve veterans of all generations.

Just as veterans are united through the bonds established in military service, DAV serves veterans of every generation — providing them with a new support system and mentorship after service — from help with claims filing, to emergency assistance, to everyday support as they “take back” normal life.

We’re veterans ourselves — including DAV’s leadership, Benefits Advocates and 1 million members — so we understand the special needs of veterans and their families.

Every veteran is important

DAV supports all veterans — at every age and every stage of life. Our support and services include:

• Special assistance to the most vulnerable and overlooked veterans, including those experiencing PTSD and homelessness.

• Equitable benefits for women, minority, LGBTQ+ and other underserved veteran populations.

• Help for those with visible and invisible wounds from military service. We know that, with the right support, veterans can overcome any challenge.

• Support for veterans’ families and survivors. While they may not have served in uniform, they often sacrificed and should be supported as well.
