On this #PurpleHeartDay, DAV encourages you to take a moment to reflect on the brave individuals who’ve been wounded or made the ultimate sacrifice in service. Without their bravery and resiliency, we wouldn’t have many of the freedoms that we practice today. Do you know any Purple Heart recipients? We encourage you to pay tribute to them in the comments below. Read MoreSee Less

Today is National Root Beer Float Day and we’re raising a mug to an incredible partner! 🥤

Earlier this week, our friends at A&W Restaurants treated convention attendees to a root beer float party, giving us a chance to cool off and celebrate a partnership that helps support veterans and their families. Now it’s your turn to join the celebration!

Today, Thursday, Aug. 6, visit a participating A&W Restaurant from 2–8 p.m. for a FREE small Root Beer Float. While you’re there, consider donating to DAV or picking up A&W’s 2026 collector’s mug for $10, with 100% of mug proceeds going to DAV.
