"I reached a point in my life where I could do this, so I did. The income I receive from the annuity is icing on the cake."
- Charles Burke, DAV Member and Charitable Gift Annuity

Brian Tanner

"Naming DAV as a partial beneficiary of my insurance policy seemed the right thing to do after they helped me. And it was so easy to do."
- Brian Tanner, Army Veteran and Beneficiary Designation Donor

Jay Jaffin

"Robyn and I are incredibly grateful for all of the sacrifices our veterans have made ... for all of us. While we're not veterans ourselves, we have relatives who are and recognize that we don't do enough to support them. DAV puts our dollars to good use, and that's why we chose them specifically to support."
- Jay Jaffin, DAV Stock Donor
