2017 – Gender barriers broken

DAV

National POW/MIA Recognition Day is observed each year on the third Friday in September to honor those who endured captivity as prisoners of war and to remember the servicemembers who remain missing in action.

During last month's DAV & Auxiliary National Convention, attendees heard from the Defense POW / MIA Accounting Agency about the critical work of recovering, identifying and accounting for missing servicemembers. The presentation included updates on the agency's ongoing missions, recovery efforts and legislative priorities.

DAV is proud to support the dedicated professionals working to bring answers to families and ensure America's missing are never forgotten. You can watch the full seminar recording on DAV’s YouTube channel here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbksUfmiW9Y ... Read MoreSee Less

DAV is feeling fantastic in Iowa.

What a week! ⛳️ The 2026 National Disabled Veterans Golf Clinic brought veterans together for much more than a round of golf. Through adaptive golf, therapeutic activities and new recreational experiences, veterans had opportunities to build skills, challenge themselves, connect with one another and discover new ways to stay active.

From the fairways to the many alternate activities throughout the week, every moment was about rehabilitation, fellowship and showing what’s possible when barriers are met with the right support.

A huge thank you to the veterans who brought their determination and energy, the golf buddies and volunteers who were there every step of the way and our generous sponsors whose support makes this week possible.

And, of course, thank you to Adaptive Sports and Arts - U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs for co-presenting this incredible event with DAV and helping create opportunities for veterans to thrive.

Here’s to a week full of new experiences, new friendships and plenty of reasons to keep swinging. ... Read MoreSee Less
