This is what veteran advocacy in action looks like! We want to extend our appreciation to every DAV member, leader, volunteer and supporter who traveled to our nation’s capital this week for the 2026 DAV Mid-Winter Conference. After meeting with lawmakers and addressing Congress on DAV’s 2026 legislative priorities, we’re feeling hopeful and inspired to get back to serving America’s veterans across the country. Here’s a glimpse of some of the action. #DAVMidwinter26 #veterans #DAV See MoreSee Less

“At our chapter, we don’t push new people to join DAV right away. We want them to actually visit and see what our chapter’s values are. It should be a place where you feel comfortable, respected and not stigmatized.”— Luis Cortes, Army, National Guard and Army Reserve veteran, DAV Department of Texas senior vice commander and winner of the 2025 Recruiter Rally

DAV chapters are built on belonging—where every veteran and family member is welcomed, supported and empowered to serve others.

Now it’s your turn to open that door for someone new. Recruit one new DAV member by June 30, 2026, and you’ll be entered to win a trip for two to the 2026 DAV & Auxiliary National Convention in Orlando, Aug. 1–4, 2026, including hotel and $2,500 in spending money.

When we make space for others, our mission grows stronger. Learn more at .
