DAV Chapter 12 Klamath Falls

WELCOME TO DISABLED AMERICAN VETERANS CHAPTER 12

We aim to make a lasting impact in the Southern Oregon Communities and beyond. Our initiatives and activities are designed to catalyze true transformation. But above all, passion is at the heart and soul of everything that we do.

A Legacy of Service, Hope for the Future

DAV is the most long-lasting veterans advocacy and assistance group in this country. We've watched this country change and grow, and we've grown along with it. However, DAV has never wavered in its core mission to fulfill our country's promises to the men and women who served. We invite everyone, veterans and civilian, men and women, young and old, to join us as we stand up for those veterans who risked it all when they stood up for us, our country, and our ideals.

Fulfilling our promises to the men and women who served.

​

We are dedicated to a single purpose: empowering veterans to lead high-quality lives with respect and dignity. We accomplish this by ensuring that veterans and their families can access the full range of benefits available to them; fighting for the interests of America's injured heroes on Capitol Hill; and educating the public about the great sacrifices and needs of veterans transitioning back to civilian life.

• Providing free, professional assistance to veterans and their families in obtaining benefits and services earned through military service and provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and other agencies of government.

• Providing outreach concerning its program services to the American people generally, and to disabled veterans and their families specifically.

• Representing the interests of disabled veterans, their families, their widowed spouses and their orphans before Congress, the White House and the Judicial Branch, as well as state and local government.

• Extending DAV's mission of hope into the communities where these veterans and their families live through a network of state-level Departments and local chapters.

• Providing a structure through which disabled veterans can express their compassion for their fellow veterans through a variety of volunteer programs.

Although our Wednesday breakfast is free to all members and disabled veterans, we do ask for donations to help us continue offering all these services for our community
