“The Battle Never Ends,” an hour-long documentary highlighting the origins of DAV and its accomplishments throughout the past century, will air on Sinclair’s television stations across the country as part of the DAV and Sinclair Broadcast Group’s “Sinclair Cares: Supporting All Veterans” partnership which kicked off on October 18.

Partially filmed at the American Veterans Disabled for Life Memorial in Washington, D.C., the documentary hosted and narrated by actor, Vietnam veteran and Hollywood military adviser Dale Dye — is a chronological look back at America’s military engagements from World War I to today. The film focuses on how DAV responded to the emerging needs of disabled veterans and their families during each conflict.
“We feel privileged to partner with Sinclair, an organization truly passionate about supporting our nation’s veterans,” said DAV National Commander Andy Marshall. “The Battle Never Ends is a testament to the accomplishments made on behalf of disabled veterans over the last 100 years, and it’s a special way to recognize the service and sacrifices of America’s veterans this Veterans Day.”
The “Sinclair Cares: Supporting All Veterans” partnership urges Sinclair viewers to learn how to volunteer and support veterans in their communities. Viewers can also donate to help DAV offer free support services, which the nonprofit provides to more than a million veterans each year. The campaign will run through November 12 to coincide with the celebration of Veterans Day on November 11.
