The Disabled American Veterans (DAV) has provided tremendous support to disabled Veterans and their families since its conception in 1920 by Judge Robert Marx, a disabled Veteran himself. Thank you, DAV (@DAVHQ), for serving our most vulnerable Veterans.

As we celebrate Independence Day, please take a moment to read the @ChiefNGB’s letter to the force. The “unbeatable determination” of the diverse members of the Army National Guard allows us to be Always Ready, Always There.
Juneteenth celebrates the liberation of African Americans from slavery in the U.S. It's celebrated on June 19 because it was on this day in 1865 that Maj. Gen. Gordon Granger, of the Union Army, landed in Texas with the news that the Civil War had ended and all slaves were free.
For many families across the nation, Memorial Day is a painful reminder of the true cost of war. Let us honor the memory of heroes no longer with us. May we strive to live up to the example set by such selfless patriots each & every day. #MemorialDay#thankyou
