A Message From Our State Commander

Hello friends, family, and comrades,

Thank you for being an essential part of the DAV Department of California.
It is a privilege to serve as your Commander.
Our purpose is clear: to stand with you and for you. Whether you are a veteran, family member, or a new voice within our community, know that DAV California is committed to ensuring you are supported, connected, and empowered to access the benefits you have earned.
As we look ahead, our vision centers on strengthening unity across our chapters and building meaningful partnerships—within our communities, with fellow organizations, and most importantly, with each other. We are one DAV family, and together we can expand our impact and reach more veterans and their families than ever before.
In the coming year, I look forward to creating more opportunities to meet with you and visiting your chapters, connecting with members and families, and hearing firsthand about your successes, challenges, and ideas. These conversations will guide our path forward and ensure we remain responsive to the needs of those we serve.
If DAV has made a difference in your life, I encourage you to share your story. Your voice can inspire others to take that first step toward receiving the care and benefits they deserve. To our members, please continue sharing the incredible work happening in your chapters and your dedication strengthens our mission and exemplifies the spirit of service.
Thank you for your commitment, your service, and the trust you place in this organization. Together, we will continue to move forward stronger, more connected, and united in purpose.
​
We are DAV. We are family.
Warm regards,

​
Jose Mendoza
Commander
