Wars and scars–those are the hard facts of history that brought about the creation of the Disabled American Veterans. Compassion and service–these are the tools that DAV responds to our Nation’s disabled veterans and those who care for them.
This great organization was formed as our country struggled to deal with the painful effects of WWI.

At this moment, our Nation is again struggling with the impact of war, as American service men and women face combat in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and elsewhere in the Global War on Terrorism.
In some ways, a great deal has changed in the more than 90 years since the DAV was founded, but this much remains the same: those who come home wounded from war need the care and attention of a grateful nation. And our Nation’s citizens have an organization they can trust to compassionately serve their wartime disabled veterans. Through the DAV, they can fully express their appreciation and their concerns for those whose minds and bodies are forever scarred by their wartime service to our Nation.
