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 day, veterans are prescribed high-risk medications. Veterans deserve clear answers on treatment alternatives to ensure they aren’t facing worsening health outcomes in their search for relief." -DAV National Legislative Director Jon Retzer
DAV March Membership Madness is back again and the first round of recruiting is complete! Congratulations to all of the departments that made it through Round 1. Reminder that the tournament runs through April 6 and if your department is eliminated from the actual tournament, it can still be recognized as Department MVP by recruiting the most new members, so there is no reason to stop recruiting new members all month!
Departments will advance each Monday and Thursday based upon the highest percentage increase of new members recruited using any DAV online membership application versus their goals established at the beginning of the membership year.
An up-to-date copy of the bracket will be available for your review in the Member Resources page of dav.org so that you can follow along with the tournament’s progress.

Twenty-three years ago on March 19, 2003, America began its involvement with Operation Iraqi Freedom, ushering in the next generation of U.S. veterans. As our nation reflects on this era of history, please take a moment and remember all of the servicemembers who served in Iraq. Many did not make it home, and many more returned home with life-changing injuries.
If you are a veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom, DAV encourages you to reach out to one of our many National Service Offices for free assistance filing your Department of Veterans Affairs claims. Visit benefitsquestions.org to get started with a service officer in your state.
