"ttieesrsB Special ceremonies last Friday in the nation's capital marked the thirty-fourth anniversary of the granting of a congressional charter to the Disabled American Veterans. The DAV was born in 1919 when the late Judge Robert S. Marx of Cincinnati, Ohio, gathered wounded World War I veterans together on Christmas day. These men, like Judge Marx, carried grim reminders of war--battle scars, disabling injuries, gas-seared lungs and prolonged illness. Feeling that a single purpose v e t e r a f i s ' o r g a n i z a t i o n w a s needed to spearhead improved programs, action was taken two years later to hold the first i national convention of the DAV. This was the nucleus of the ill group as it exists today. It has grown from a handful of dis- " I? a bled veterans to more than 231,090 members today--veterans of America's two major wars, the Korean conflict and the war in Viet Nam.
