While serving as an Army helicopter pilot in Vietnam, Ron Hope’s chopper was shot down, ultimately resulting in the amputation of his left arm. During his recovery, a friend suggested he consider DAV for a career. Ron served 31 years, advocating for veterans to get their earned benefits, and was elected national commander in 2014. His victory is giving back to the veteran community.

DAV is a leading nonprofit charity that provides a lifetime of support for veterans of all generations and their families. Every year, DAV assists more than 1 million veterans in positive, life-changing ways by helping them access benefits they earned—like health care, education and disability payments—and connecting them to meaningful employment opportunities. 

With the right support, more veterans will get the benefits they were promised. With DAV, and your help, more veterans will find their victory.
