Summer heats up with compassion for disabled veterans as the DAV rallies support from volunteers, professional athletes, corporate donors and concerned patriots like you!

Tornadoes, Floods Harm Disabled Veterans
In the wake of widespread tornadoes and floods, DAV staff and volunteers are still spread out across America, reaching out with vital aid to disabled veterans stricken by disaster. A year of severe weather is putting the DAV's Disaster Relief Fund to the test.
VA Finally Delivers Aid to Heroes & Families
After leading the charge for a new law to aid the families of profoundly disabled veterans, the DAV criticized long VA delays in providing this urgently needed aid. Finally, the VA is accepting applications from full-time caregivers who meet the criteria and are eligible for vital training, financial assistance and health care.
Helping Disabled Service Members Make a Smooth Transition
Across the country, DAV transition officers are helping disabled service members understand the benefits and services they earned before they leave the armed forces. Explains DAV Commander Wally Tyson: "We want to get to these veterans before they're released so we can help get them on a path toward reinstituting a life."
Ford Motor Company Continues DAV Support
Ford Motor Company and DAV held a special ceremony at DAV's National Service and Legislative Headquarters in Washington, D.C., where Ford made another generous donation to purchase additional vehicles for the DAV Transportation Program.
Lt. Dan Band Movie: For the Common Good
Longtime Disabled American Veterans friend and supporter, Gary Sinise's documentary -- Lt. Dan Band Movie: For the Common Good -- will premier online July 4th!
Inspiring a PGA Pro to Give His All for Disabled Vets
Keep an eye on PGA Pro Jeff Klauk because every time Jeff finishes in the top 10, Golden Corral donates $5,000 to DAV! Plus, Kids Eat Free on the Monday after a top 10 finish! The DAV thanks Golden Corral for its devotion to building better lives for disabled veterans.
Keep Patriotism Shining Bright -- All Summer Long!
As we enjoy our many freedoms this summer, it's a great time to thank our heroes for protecting the land that we love. And with July 4th right around the corner, you'll keep the spirit of patriotism alive as you give to DAV now!
Please thank a disabled veteran today for their sacrifice and service!
