The Disabled American Veteran (DAV) Chapter 50, Chesterfield, VA is also known as Al Bartraw Jr. DAV. The chapter is a dedicated nonprofit organization founded to serve, empower, and advocate for Virginia’s wounded, injured, and disabled veterans and their families. Upholding both the Constitution of the United States and the Commonwealth of Virginia, our chapter is committed to advancing the interests and well-being of every veteran who has sacrificed for our nation.

Aligned with Disabled American Veterans (www.dav.org) - We are dedicated to a single purpose: empowering veterans to lead high-quality lives with respect and dignity. We accomplish this by ensuring that veterans and their families can access the full range of benefits available to them; fighting for the interests of America’s injured heroes; and educating the public about the great sacrifices and needs of veterans transitioning back to civilian life.

​This mission is carried forward by:​

• Providing free, professional assistance to veterans and their families in obtaining benefits and services earned through military service and provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and other agencies of government.​

• Providing outreach concerning its program services to the American people generally, and to disabled veterans and their families specifically.​

• Providing a structure through which disabled veterans can express their compassion for their fellow veterans through a variety of volunteer programs.
