Proudly Supporting and Honoring Veterans
Veterans Development Corporation proudly presents the 2024 DAV 5K Boston Run to Honor Veterans which will be held on Veterans Day, Saturday, November 9th at DCR Fort Independence at Castle Island.
Disabled American Veterans (DAV) has been committed for over 100 years to helping our heroes and their families get the help they deserve by providing them free professional assistance for obtaining healthcare, disability, employment, education and financial assistance they earned through their military service. More than 1 million veterans each year are helped by DAV with over 12 million claims submitted on their behalf over the past 100 years. For these reasons, Veterans Development Corporation is proud to support DAV in continuing its mission by supporting this year’s DAV 5k Boston Run to Honor Veterans.
