A Message from Our Commander

To My Fellow Veterans, Families & Friends

Welcome to DAV Cape May County Chapter 44


If there's one thing I've learned, it's that the friendships and bonds we form through military service don't end when we take off the uniform. Those connections stay with us, and sometimes, finding our way back to that sense of belonging is exactly what we need.

That's what DAV Chapter 44 is all about. We're not just a veterans' organization. We're a place where you can walk through the door, pull up a chair, share a story, enjoy a laugh, and feel right at home. You don't have to explain where you've been or what you've experienced. Chances are, someone sitting next to you understands.


Of course, we're here to support veterans and their families, help connect them with resources, and stand up for those who served. But just as importantly, we're here for each other. I'm excited about our new website because it gives us another way to stay connected, share what's happening at the chapter, and reach veterans who may not even know we're here. And if you're one of those veterans who hasn't stopped by yet, let me personally invite you. 


You don't need a special occasion or a reason to visit. Just come as you are. Have a conversation, meet some good people, and see what Chapter 44 is all about.


To our members, thank you for making this chapter what it is. To our families and community, thank you for always having our backs. And to every veteran reading this, I want you to know one thing: You served. You belong. And there's always a place for you at DAV Chapter 44.

I hope to see you around the chapter soon.


In camaraderie and service,

Peter J Zalesny
Chapter Commander
