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.

DAV celebrates this important step forward in expanding treatment options for veterans, with new action to accelerate research and access to psychedelic therapies like ibogaine.

DAV remains committed to supporting research and ensuring veterans have every opportunity to heal and thrive.
