The first 354 national service officers are trained at American University in Washington, D.C, providing a new generation of disabled veterans the knowledge and expertise they need to represent their fellow veterans returning from the war. The training expands to The Catholic University of America, in Washington, D.C., in 1967.

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.
