DAV Members Set Their Course During a meeting at DAV's annual convention, disabled veterans decided their own goals for the year ahead. While there, DAV National Commander Joseph Johnston, left, introduced new VA head Robert McDonald. Spotlight Vet of the Year: "Saved for a Purpose" DAV named Roger Ferland its Outstanding Disabled Veteran of 2014.
