Provide transitioning service members, disabled veterans and their spouses with tools, skills and resources to secure meaningful employment or pursue entrepreneurial opportunities.
Honor the sacrifices of veterans by giving them and the American public opportunities to support them, their families and their survivors through volunteerism.
Uplift and serve caregivers, families and support structures to ensure high-quality lives for veterans and enhance the experience of those who share in their sacrifices.
Strengthen veterans’ health care and benefits by shaping public policy to advance the welfare of all ill and injured veterans and their families, caregivers and survivors.
Educate and inform the American public about the sacrifices of veterans, the issues that affect their lives and how we can keep our promise to those who served.
Responsibly and efficiently leverage the goodwill of the American people and organizations to sustain and grow DAV’s ability to keep promises to veterans and their families, caregivers and survivors.

I look forward to sharing the amazing things we continue to accomplish together for our heroes throughout 2026.
