DAV would like to extend our thanks to all the veteran participants, caregivers, volunteers and sponsors who stepped up last week to make the 40th National Disabled Veterans Winter Sports Clinic a success! Special thanks to the Adaptive Sports and Arts - U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs team for co-hosting the event with DAV.
The entire event focuses on adaptive sports, and our teams were forced to adapt in major ways this year when large portions of the mountain did not have any snow. But overcoming challenges is all part of the fun at the Winter Sports Clinic!
These adaptive sports events for veterans are not just creating memories; they’re building hope and changing lives, one miracle at a time.

Veterans’ preference is a statutory safeguard—not a discretionary option—and cannot be diminished through regulation. The proposal exceeds OPM’s authority, violates the Administrative Procedure Act, and fails to justify such a significant departure from established policy.
At a time when hundreds of thousands of veterans serve in the federal workforce, these changes would disproportionately harm those who have already sacrificed for our nation. DAV urges OPM to withdraw the proposed rule in its entirety to preserve fair and lawful protections that keep the promise to America’s veterans.

On Nov. 10, 2023, the Department of Veterans Affairs announced that all World War II veterans are now eligible for no-cost VA health care. Under this expansion, anyone who served between Dec. 7, 1941, and Dec. 31, 1946, will not have to pay inpatient or outpatient copays, enrollment fees or monthly premiums.
