Just because summer is coming to an end, it doesn’t mean the America 250 celebrations are over! DAV is proud to sponsor A Nation Remembers Veterans Weekend (Sept. 16–20, 2026) at the Ark Encounter in Williamstown, Kentucky.

A Nation Remembers is a powerful multi-day gathering dedicated to honoring and celebrating veterans from all conflicts. This is our opportunity to stand together in gratitude—remembering the sacrifices made to preserve our freedoms and celebrating the enduring strength of the American spirit.

The good simply DOES NOT outweigh the bad when it comes to the Take Care of America’s Veterans Act. The bill would cut up to $57 billion in future disability compensation for 1.5 million veterans but provides only $7.9 billion in new VA benefits, just 14%. That’s a terrible deal for disabled veterans!

DAV rejects the idea that Congress must strip benefits from one group of veterans to “pay for” new benefits for another. Call the U.S. Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121 and tell your Representative to vote “NO” on H.R. 9237, the Take Care of America's Veterans Act.

What does the word caregiving mean to you? It’s much more than what you might think at first. Earlier this month at the DAV & Auxiliary National Convention in Orlando, DAV’s partners at Veteran Debt Assistance (VDA) participated in the Caregiving Seminar, helping demystify some of the common ideas surrounding caregiving. Learn how debt plays a role in the lives of caregivers and how DAV and Veteran Debt Assistance are helping ease some of the stress through programs like DAV Caregivers Support.

DAV rejects the idea that the only way to fund the Take Care of America’s Veterans Act is by stripping benefits from those who are currently serving or will serve in the future. Call the U.S. Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121 and tell your representative to vote “NO” on H.R. 9237, the Take Care of America's Veterans Act. Read MoreSee Less
