Each and every day, DAV works hand in hand with our nation’s veterans. We listen to their stories. We help them get the assistance they desperately need.

And then, we take on the big fights to improve their lives.

Watch the stories of these three veterans to learn more about the challenges they’ve faced and how they’ve overcome their toughest times with help from DAV.

Delphine Metcalf-Foster
U.S. Army Veteran
After 21 years in the service and witnessing the many iniquities women experience, Delphine joined DAV, and later became our first female National Commander, as a way to give back and help other female veterans.

Jason Barbiere
U.S. Marine Corps Veteran
When Jason left the military, his hypervigilance left him feeling that nowhere was safe. Jason wasn’t getting the urgent help he needed for his PTSD and had nearly given up … but then he turned to DAV.

Dr. Lawrence Anthony
U.S. Marine Corps Veteran
Dr. Anthony was exposed to Agent Orange during his time in Vietnam, but it wasn’t until many years later that he realized the impact it had on his health. And that’s when he turned to DAV.

Then, make a special gift today to ensure we can be a consistent voice on Capitol Hill to help more veterans like Delphine, Jason and Dr. Anthony.
