Have you ever felt as if injured and ill veterans have been forgotten? Sadly, when the guns of battle fall silent, too many people tend to forget about war…and about those who fought. Even our politicians begin to forget. Our injured heroes are a constant reminder of the blood spilled, bodies maimed, and minds scarred in defense of our ideals — the quality and fullness of our American way of life.
We can never forget that. The DAV Auxiliary was founded in 1922 by those driven by a mission to fulfill our promises to the men and women who served by assuring they were not forgotten by our nation and its policy makers. The DAV Auxiliary still serves today, helping the families of veterans who sacrificed so much for our country. Making sure America remembers its injured and ill veterans is a challenging mission, especially when legislators in Washington, D.C., attack benefits that families of our injured heroes depend on. We are a strong and influential advocate for veterans’ rights. We fight for those rights on Capitol Hill, promoting policies that ensure veterans and their families can live with respect and dignity. There are many great reasons to join the DAV Auxiliary:
exceptional volunteer programs, an opportunity to serve veterans and their families directly, a chance to help others in your community, and much, much more. But the most important reason for joining the DAV Auxiliary is the pressing need to protect the benefits veterans have earned for the people they care most about — their families. Your membership strengthens the DAV Auxiliary in its ongoing efforts to defend against benefit deterioration. Just belonging to the Auxiliary accomplishes so much — long before you attend your first meeting.Join us in standing up for veterans by making sure their voices are heard in Congress. Together we can send a strong and clear message to all national leaders who would ignore the sacrifices made in defense of our country. Help keep our nation mindful of the needs of the families of injured and ill veterans.
