Today, DAV celebrates 106 years of serving America's veterans.

Founded on Sept. 25, 1920, in the aftermath of World War I, DAV was created by wounded and disabled veterans who believed no one should have to fight alone after returning home. They came together to advocate for the benefits they had earned, support one another and ensure future generations of veterans would have someone in their corner.

More than a century later, that mission remains as important as ever. Thanks to the dedication of our members, volunteers, supporters and partners, DAV continues to provide a lifetime of support to veterans, their families, caregivers and survivors.

As we celebrate 106 years of service and advocacy, we'd love to hear from you. What does DAV mean to you? Let us know in the comments! … See MoreSee Less
