The DAV has a mission. Helping vets like you get everything your sacrifices earned. Helping families like yours. That's what we do. That's all we do. And we do it well because you deserve the best.

You can count on DAV service when you need help with the benefits from the VA and other government agencies. the help is free of charge. It's available from DAV National Service Officers (NSOs) in 69 offices nationwide.

That's important to you when the VA want to review the benefits you receive...when you have trouble getting treatment at a VA medical center...when you need some direction on job programs for vets...when you need Social Security disability benefits.

With threats to your benefits coming on hot and heavy year after year, you need representation before Congress, the White House, and other government bodies. Strong, effective representation.

The DAV's legislative specialists in Washington, DC are the best in veterans' affairs. But they must be backed up by strength. The strength that comes from numbers.

That's where you come in. Sign up for DAV membership today!

The help you get from your DAV NSO is free. NSOs really care about you and your family. And they're the best trained experts around.

Well over half of all veterans eligible for DAV membership have already joined our ranks. Asked why they joined in a recent survey, they overwhelmingly cited DAV service.

More than 200,000 vets and members of their families seek out professional DAV service every year. They need counseling on the full range of benefits for veterans and their families.

They need help with disability compensation, VA pension, death benefits, VA medical care, Social Security disability benefits, veterans' job programs, and so much more.

They get that help-expert help-from other disabled vets who have undergone the stiffest training program in veterans' affairs. An all-new, high-tech training program is making sure DAV NSOs will always remain the best.

And vets like the fact that they DAV gets no government funding. They know the DAV is on their side.

Finally, at the highest level of appeal within the Department of Veterans Affairs, the DAV represents more clients than all other veterans' groups combined.
