WHY MONTHLY SUPPORT MATTERS

For many veterans, challenges don’t end when their service does. Navigating health care, securing earned benefits and adjusting to civilian life can take time, and often continued support. Supporting veterans often extends beyond a single moment or gesture. Their needs continue every day and so does the work to ensure they receive the benefits, care and support they’ve earned.

That’s where your monthly support comes in. When you choose to donate to DAV on a monthly basis, you help create steady, reliable assistance veterans can count on. You also help DAV plan ahead, respond quickly and serve veterans and their families year-round. Your consistency with giving helps ensure veterans are not left waiting for help—whether it’s navigating the benefits system or advocating for policies that improve quality of life.

By choosing to support monthly, you’re doing more than making a donation. You’re choosing to stand with veterans every day of the year and be part of a nationwide community committed to honoring their service through action.

WHAT OUR SUPPORTERS ARE SAYING

Every monthly supporter has a story. Some give because of their own service. Others give in honor of loved ones. Many give because they believe caring for veterans is a shared responsibility. When you give monthly, you’ll experience a sense of purpose knowing your support makes a difference for those who sacrificed for us all.

Here are just a few of the voices of those who help DAV continue its mission through monthly gifts.

Ralph Myers, Army veteran

“I am an 83-year-old Army veteran. I served three years in Germany during the Cold War and the Cuban Missile Crisis. I come from a long line of family members who served. Serving God, family and country are the most important duties and honors of my life. Supporting DAV through monthly giving is one way I can continue to support past, present and future service members.”

Dianne Luttrell, DAV supporter

“My parents were military. My husband and all three of my children served. I am also blessed with sons-in-law and my only grandson who served. I feel honored to give monthly to those in service who protect my country. God bless them all.”

Gregory Ryczek, Army veteran

“I am a peacetime veteran who served in the Army for three years in the 1980s. I was very proud to serve my country, and looking back, it was probably the best thing I did in my life. I am very patriotic and have great respect for all veterans and first responders. I am at a point in my life where I feel the need to start giving back, and monthly giving is a meaningful way to honor the men and women who fought for our freedoms. It is important to me to help ensure veterans get what they need.”

Robert Henn, Air Force veteran

“Being a veteran myself, I deeply appreciate the commitment and sacrifice of all those who serve, especially those who have been disabled. I donate monthly because it is important to me to help ensure veterans receive the support they deserve.”
