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:
DAV Chapter 147 will be holding a Special Event on September 6, 2025 from 9 AM to 3 PM. DAV NSO will be answering questions about claims that have already been submitted. Our Chapter CSO will be scheduling appointments for claims and answering question. We will have members there to talk about membership and much more.
Our programs support our service members while they are on the front line, as they are being discharged and long after they return. Your tax-deductible donation will be immediately directed to the VFW programs where your support is most urgently needed.
