DAV Department of Massachusetts Commander Dennis Devine placed a corsage on DAV Auxiliary Department of Massachusetts Commander Allison Marie Devine, marking their historic distinction as the first father-daughter team to lead their respective state organizations.

A Navy veteran, the elder Devine has been involved with DAV for more than 50 years, reflecting a lifelong commitment to fellow veterans. His daughter’s path to leadership began through her mother, Cookie Devine, whose own involvement with the Auxiliary inspired Allison to give back to the veteran community.

The moment highlights how service to DAV can carry through generations, with the Devine family’s legacy continuing through both DAV and the DAV Auxiliary. Their joint leadership reflects the strength of family commitment in advancing DAV’s mission of support for veterans and their loved ones.

CARtober is a month dedicated to giving back to veterans to fund vital programs and services through the DAV Vehicle Donation Program. Jackie Reau’s donation is an example of how your support can go farther for veterans.

As the granddaughter of an Army veteran, Jackie Reau highly values the sacrifices made by our nation’s heroes. So, when the time came to decide what to do with her mom’s old Chrysler, the DAV Vehicle Donation Program was Jackie’s first choice.

Donating the vehicle to DAV was a meaningful way to give back to veterans while paying tribute to her grandfather who served.
"I chose DAV because of the incredible work they do to support veterans living with disabilities. DAV's mission speaks directly to our family values, and I know my grandfather would be proud." - Jackie Reau, DAV supporter and vehicle donor

If you have a vehicle that’s no longer being used, donating it to DAV will provide life-changing support for veterans and their families, caregivers and survivors. DAV also accepts unused vehicles of almost any kind including cars, trucks, motorcycles, RVs, boats and more. We make the process simple, secure and hassle-free. Plus, you may even qualify for a tax deduction.

In honor of CARtober, learn more about how you can donate a vehicle to help our nation’s veterans at the link in the comments.
