A veterans organization has millions in the bank. Why did it seize a small chapter’s donation?

A major veterans organization, sitting on millions in reserves, has sparked controversy by seizing a donation from a small local chapter of the Disabled American Veterans (DAV). This move highlights a broader conflict over financial control, organizational authority, and the role of local chapters within the larger structure. The dispute underscores the tension between maintaining centralized control and empowering local chapters to act independently, raising questions about the organization's commitment to grassroots support and local veteran needs.
