This June, DAV recognizes the service and sacrifice of LGBTQ+ veterans. Many served during eras shaped by policies like Don't Ask, Don't Tell, often carrying both the challenges of military service and the added weight of hiding who they were. Even today, some face higher risks of isolation, barriers to care and difficulty accessing earned benefits.

At DAV, our mission is simple: ensure every veteran—regardless of background—can access the care, benefits and support they’ve earned through service.

Supporting veterans means recognizing the full reality of their experiences and making sure no one is left out of the benefits they’ve earned.

Whether you are a caregiver caring for a veteran, or a veteran who is caring for someone else, balancing your responsibilities can feel overwhelming at times.

There is no one right way to be a caregiver, but having someone to help along the way can provide a sense of relief. That is why DAV Caregivers Support was created. The no-cost program offers tailored support and resources, helping to improve the quality of life for both the caregiver and care receiver. To learn more, contact our team at davcaregivers.org.
