dav's history with the American veterans disabled for life memorial
DAV was instrumental in the establishment of the American Veterans Disabled for Life Memorial, which was dedicated in October 2014. It is the only Memorial in our nation's capitol dedicated to the men and women injured or made ill during their active military service. To learn more, visit the AV DLM website.
At the 2019 National Convention in Orlando, the American Veterans Disabled for Life Memorial Foundation President, Dennis Joyner, presented then Chapter Commander Tom Wendel with a token of esteem for all Chapter 10's efforts. The award is made from actual pieces of the Memorial.
In December 2019, the National Park Service, National Mall and Memorial Parks presented DAV Chapter 10 with a Volunteer Service Award for their nearly 90 volunteer hours with over 70 volunteers.
