Memorial Day : A Day to Remember Those Who Lost Their Lives Defending Freedom And Men and Women Home From War..

Memorial Day is a few days away. As we honor the memory of all those who lost their lives defending our nation’s freedom, many of our veterans are experiencing something far more personal: grieving fallen friends, comrades, and military family members.

This day of remembrance can open emotional wounds for men and women home from war, but DAV is there for them.

Thousands of veterans count on us to provide the comfort, care, and support they need to heal every day of the year but especially on a difficult day like Memorial Day. Will you help us be there for them?

This Memorial Day, make a commitment to honor those we lost, and support DAV in our efforts to help those who are still here. Give a meaningful gift today.

DAV is proud to honor our nation’s sacred promise to those who served nobly and sacrificed greatly. We are there for veterans when they come home, and throughout the long, hard healing process — inside and out. And that is because of you.
