BANGOR — Members of the Disabled American Veterans from throughout the state will hold their annual Department Convention from May 4 to May 6 at the Four Points Sheridan Hotel.

More than 100 DAV members, including many disabled veterans of the World Wars, Korea, Vietnam, Persian Gulf and even some from the current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, are expected to attend.

According to George Mathis, DAV Department of Maine commander, convention business sessions will include adoption of resolutions to be submitted to the DAV’s National Convention to be held Aug. 4- 7 in Las Vegas.

Several of these mandates are expected to concentrate on improvements in the rights and benefits earned by 2.1 million veterans disabled in wartime service to their country.

The convention’s highlight will be a banquet held at 6 p.m. Saturday, May 6, at which featured speaker will be Arthur Wilson, national adjutant, Disabled American Veterans.

Election of new DAV state-level officers for the coming year will be held Saturday.
