Posted on Mar 13, 2020

DAV is monitoring news associated with the Coronavirus situation and guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. At this time, we are proceeding with our plans to host our most important annual gathering as scheduled. If our convention plans change, we will update the convention page and use other DAV channels to inform our members.

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.
