SERVICE PROGRAM: Our National Service Program features more than 100 offices nationwide and includes a robust corps of national and transition service officers who stand ready to offer advice and represent veterans in their claims for the benefits they have earned in service to us all. With our chapter service officers, department service officers and transition service officers, as well as county veteran service officers, DAV has over 4,200 benefits experts. All DAV benefits advocates are veterans and are available nationwide to help other veterans and their families navigate their benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs. Benefits advocates provide counseling on VA claims and appeals-all at no cost-and stay with the veteran throughout every step of the process. Information seminars educate veterans and their families on specific veterans benefits and services. These free seminars are held in person or virtually and are conducted by DAV benefits advocates nationwide.

PUBLIC AWARENESS OUTREACH: When our heroes return home from military service, many struggle to regain a sense of normalcy. They must start the long and often difficult process of healing and rehabilitation so that they can begin to rebuild the lives they once knew. They must find jobs and often housing, as well as relearn how to relate to their families after having been away for long periods of time. Accessing basic health services can be daunting. That's why DAV is here to help them every step of the way. Too many of our wounded, ill and injured veterans haven't accessed the benefits and services they've earned. Most simply aren't aware of their rights and benefits or the free help our National Service Program can provide with filing for benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs and other government agencies. Neither are they aware of the wide range of other programs we offer to wounded, ill and injured veterans and their families. This program supplements the outreach efforts already built into our other program services. It offers the American public an even greater opportunity to become personally involved in identifying and assisting the men and women who have served our nation.

COMMUNICATIONS PROGRAM: DAV's National Communications Department runs internal and external communications programs-including, but not limited to, publications, media relations, digital material and numerous outreach efforts-to tell DAV's story and support its key objectives. A bimonthly magazine informs our members on critical issues and policies impacting the federal benefits and services veterans have earned through their service. It also brings attention to DAV's state-level departments and our local chapters by highlighting their many successful service programs and, therefore, inspiring strong and effective strategies in communities from coast to coast. By producing public service announcements, news releases, brochures, speeches, op-eds, print messages, educational videos and other content, DAV is able to spread information about our organization and the complete scope of free services that help create more victories for veterans. DAV also continues to maintain a healthy presence on various social media networks. Additionally, all of DAV's nearly 1 million members continue to receive the bimonthly DAV Magazine, which acts as the official voice of DAV and its Auxiliary. With such an immense collection of programs and services, DAV is able to provide detailed research and resources to best explain issues with facts, applicable examples and important context. As a result, our educational public service and outreach programs continue to promote awareness of veterans' issues and honor veterans' service to our nation.
