CHAPTER & DEPARTMENT Minnesota veterans at Root Beer Float Day... DAV members of Chapter 20 of Faribault, Minn., helped promote awareness of DAV’s services at National Root Beer Float Day at their local A&W Restaurant. The annual event, hosted by A&W Restaurants, raised nearly $170,000 to support DAV’s mission across the country.

I scream, you scream… DAV Chapter 5 in Hot Springs, Ark., routinely serves ice cream to staff and hospitalized veterans at the Eugene J. Towbin Veterans Healthcare Center in North Little Rock. Kilwins of Hot Springs—an old-fashioned confectionary chain—recently donated to the program, allowing DAV members (from left) Gene Rasure, Kevin Tuohy and Rick Martin to serve up scoops for their fellow veterans.
