John,

I have an urgent request unlike anything I’ve asked of you before. We have a critical goal to raise $2,500,000 over the next 30 days to help thousands of veterans whose lives have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Can you help with an urgent gift for our nation’s veterans today?

Just as this global crisis continues to affect communities around the country and the world, it’s having a devastating impact on many of our nation’s veterans. On top of the additional health risks our ill and injured veterans face with this virus, thousands of veterans with service-connected disabilities are being laid off or have had to close their small businesses due to the outbreak of this pandemic.

With the support of caring friends like you, for 100 years, DAV has been committed to serving and protecting the men and women who have bravely served our country. And now more than ever before, we must dedicate our efforts to helping veterans who are desperately struggling — veterans who are no longer able to make ends meet to provide for their families or get the medical care they need during this unprecedented time.

Your generous donation today will help DAV provide financial assistance to veterans who are struggling due to the COVID-19 pandemic and will continue to support all of DAV’s programs for our nation’s veterans.

Like you, we don’t know when this crisis will end. But we do know that together we can make a life-saving difference for veterans who have made great sacrifices for our freedoms. Please, if you’re able, make an urgent gift for our nation’s veterans today.

In solidarity,

J. Marc Burgess
DAV National Adjutant/CEO
