Posted on Sep 18, 2019

The Montgomery GI Bill provides up to 36-months of educational benefits to veterans who served at least two-years on active duty for service members who paid $100 per month for their first year of service. It remains a premier recruiting goal and veteran benefit until Congress passes the Post 9/11-GI Bill in 2008.

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.

At 95 years old, Coast Guard veteran Vicente Agor traveled cross-country with his family to participate in the DAV 5K and support his fellow veterans.

To Agor, fellow veterans were family. That connection was one of the reasons participating in the DAV 5K meant so much to him.
