Dav Chapter 11 Springfield, MO.

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.
