Members of DAV Chapter 3 in Virginia, Minnesota; airmen from the 148th Fighter Wing; and volunteers with Mid-State Trucking Service in Virginia, Minnesota, team up to process clothes for a monthly clothing drive in the Land of Lakes.
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.

U.S. Senator Mike Rounds graciously attended the DAV Department of South Dakota annual department convention earlier this month, where he told our members that he’s supportive of sponsoring legislation in support of DAV National Resolution 55. This resolution, which was adopted during the 2025 DAV & Auxiliary National Convention in Las Vegas, supports guaranteed access to second medical opinions for veterans. Learn more about this and all of DAV’s other resolutions at www.dav.org/about-dav/legislation/dav-resolutions/.
As always, DAV will continue actively working with lawmakers on both sides of the aisle in support of legislation that supports veterans, their families, caregivers and survivors. Thank you, Sen. Rounds, for your leadership on this issue!
