A Message From Our State Commander

Picture
Hello friends, family, and comrades,

I am honored and humbled to serve in this role and excited for the year ahead. Together, I believe we can make this a year of growth, impact, and renewed purpose—strengthening membership, building camaraderie, and continuing to serve our veterans and communities across California.

One of the things I am looking forward to most is visiting your chapters, meeting our members, and seeing firsthand the incredible work being done in communities throughout our state. Every chapter has a story, every volunteer makes a difference, and every act of service matters.

But I can’t do this alone—I need your partnership.

If your chapter is hosting a special event, ceremony, outreach project, celebration, or community initiative and would like attendance from the DAV Department of California Commander or Department leadership, please submit a request along with all pertinent event details to      DAVCAL  Headquarters, Attention: Commander.

Let’s work together, support one another, and continue showing what DAV is all about—service, advocacy, and brotherhood. Looking forward to seeing all the amazing things we will accomplish together.

"Be the change."​

Jose Mendoza
Commander
