This DAV Chapter was a blessing to me. Very Professional and caring members.
We attended a yard sale fundraiser this year and they were very friendly and helpful to my Canadian Vet dad. They have regular activities and it’s a wonderful place to visit and feel included.
I cannot stress enough how helpful the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) organization is for veterans in the USA. As a veteran myself, I have visited DAV for assistance each time I have been met with compassion and understanding.
The staff at DAV truly care about the well-being of veterans and go above and beyond to provide support and resources. If you are a veteran struggling with any health issues, I highly recommend reaching out to DAV for assistance. They are truly a lifeline for veterans in need.
Michael James McClafferty has become the new Commander at DAV Chapter 147. Let's welcome our new Commander and wish his endeavors to improve our chapter and the DAV are successful.
We are dedicated to a single purpose: empowering veterans to lead high-quality lives with respect and dignity. We accomplish this by ensuring that veterans and their families can access the full range of benefits available to them; fighting for the interests of America’s injured heroes on Capitol Hill; and educating the public about the great sacrifices and needs of veterans transitioning back to civilian life.
This mission is carried forward by:
Providing free, professional assistance to veterans and their families in obtaining benefits and services earned through military service and provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and other agencies of government.
Providing outreach concerning its program services to the American people generally, and to disabled veterans and their families specifically.
Representing the interests of disabled veterans, their families, their widowed spouses and their orphans before Congress, the White House and the Judicial Branch, as well as state and local government.
Extending DAV’s mission of hope into the communities where these veterans and their families live through a network of state-level Departments and local Chapters.
Providing a structure through which disabled veterans can express their compassion for their fellow veterans through a variety of volunteer programs.

IN-COUNTRY
A satirical reflection by Author/Artist Phil Fehrenbacher
Phil enlisted in the Army in 1965 where you served for years in Vietnam. He became a graphic designer and has worked for the state of Oregon for 26 years.
He retired in 2003 and started the Cartoon "In-Country". The cartoons reflect his experiences during his tour of duty in South Vietnam.
There is a new cartoon everyday.
Commander's Corner
Commander Michael Jame McClafferty
Welcome to DAV Chapter 147 W.R. Hold in Killeen, TX. I encourage you to come down and visit the Chapter. Our hours of operation are posted on the bottom of this web page. You may contact me by email at commander@dav147.org.
The Chapter is here to serve veterans and give back to the community that took care of our families when we went on deployment.
We are a small chapter with a very big heart!
Now a little about me I served in US Army for over 17 years. I have worked for the federal government as a contactor. I have plenty of fish stories to share, scuba diving adventures and my love of motorcycles.
