What is your personal experience with DAV?
Is it providing all of these services adequately across the country?
DAV Services:
DAV assists over a million veterans annually through their services, including helping them navigate the complex VA claims process to access earned benefits.
DAV actively lobbies on behalf of veterans in Congress to improve legislation related to benefits and healthcare access.
They provide local support networks and transportation services to help veterans access VA medical appointments.
DAV is recognized for its strong commitment to veterans and has a high rating from charity evaluators.
Thank you,
COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
CEO,
Victory for Veterans, Inc. (VFV)

They helped get me 100%. I hate the website, though. You can't pay your dues there, even though it says you can, and you have to search for the member login.

DAV supported me as a VSO with the VA. After joining, found it to be like NRA (constantly asking for money).
They do good work for our veterans, I just don't have the funding for constant requests.

Not to good called ask for help was told we don’t do trivial things then I told the lady i am having a problem getting into the dentist at the VA told the lady I’m 100% combat veteran she then hung up on me. I’ll never ask the DAV for help again.

I support the DAV and am a lifetime member however I never get a magazine from them tried to ask for help that didn’t go anywhere but I sure there are a lot of people that need help more than me, so I just stopped asking and go it alone, it does seem to work.

Proud life member of DAV, DAV helped me probably more than I will ever know. If you want a solid organization to belong to DAV is my choice and might be right for you as well. Check it out, you never know.

Good evening COL Mikel J. Burroughs. Excellent post. Thank you for sharing this. DAV is an excellent organization. I've been donating to them since 2023. They also assist with V.A. claims as well.

I don't care much for their thrift store, but I'm sure experience varies from location to location. I think they're a good organization with a good intent behind their existence.

The DAV does fantastic work; however, it can only stretch so far. Yes, DVs fall through the cracks, but it isn't because the DAV isn't trying. Two things stop or reduce their assistance--volunteers and financial support. Make a donation. But most if all volunteer.
