  17. THE DAV We are dedicated to a single purpose: empowering veterans to lead high-quality lives with respect and dignity. We accomplish this by ensuring that veterans and their families can access the full range of benefits available to them; fighting for the interests of America’s injured veterans on Capitol Hill; and educating the public about the great sacrifices and needs of veterans transitioning back to civilian life.
  18. THE DAV Veterans making the transition back to civilian life must overcome many obstacles, and we provide programs that address their overall health and well-being. Beyond helping hundreds of thousands of veterans from all eras each year access available government benefits, we fund rehabilitation and counseling programs, link veterans to job training programs and work to address homelessness. All DAV services are free.
  19. THE DAV We are fulfilling our promises to the men and women who served. We understand the needs of today’s veterans, because we are an organization of veterans helping veterans. We have a proven track record of success, helping hundreds of thousands of veterans each year obtain needed benefits and services.
