DAV is pleased to see the Protecting Regular Order (PRO) Veterans Act of 2025 signed into law. This bipartisan legislation is an important step in ensuring the VA remains a transparent and accountable organization, capable of providing the world-class care and benefits our nation’s heroes have earned.
The PRO Veterans Act, with its requirements for regular budget briefings, will offer much-needed visibility into the VA’s financial health, helping to prevent budget shortfalls that could disrupt services. By codifying the Veterans Experience Office with the VA, we are taking a significant step towards improving trust and ensuring that veterans’ voices are at the heart of policy and decision-making.
DAV extends its gratitude to Congress and the administration for their commitment to keeping our promise to America’s veterans. As we advance, we urge stakeholders to stay engaged and supportive, ensuring effective implementation of this law to enhance veterans’ lives.

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.
It's only Day 2 and the 2026 National Disabled Veterans Golf Clinic is already bringing plenty of energy, connection and memories to the course.
Thank you to every veteran participant who joined us, every golf buddy who offered encouragement and every caregiver and volunteer who has helped get the event off to a wonderful start. Together, there’s no limit to what veterans can accomplish.
