We're continuing to look into potential leadership changes at the chapter.

Nearly two months after the Salem chapter of the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) was suspended, members are coming together to raise awareness.

We reached out to the National DAV headquarters to see why the Salem Chapter was able to go three years without submitting important financial documentation.

10 News is continuing to look into why the Salem chapter of the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) was suspended after a viewer called in last week.

The Salem DAV has been suspended for several months, causing members to be upset.

“The accountability, professionalism and respect that our veterans have earned, and quite frankly deserve, is completely lost in this current VA leadership team,” said B.J. Wilkie and other senior officials had declined to fully cooperate with the investigation by VA Inspector General Michael Missal. Wilkie is President Donald Trump’s second VA secretary after David Shulkin was fired in 2018. “VA can and must do better,” said Randy Reese, executive director of Disabled American Veterans’ Washington headquarters. He has selected Denis McDonough, who served as President Barack Obama’s White House chief of staff, to be VA secretary.
