The 37th Division Veterans Association (37th DVA), a non-profit veterans organization, was originally formed on April 13, 1918, by veterans of the 37th Infantry Division who fought in Europe during WWI with the American Expeditionary Forces (AEF). It was formed to honor veterans who gave their lives while serving our nation and to help the dependents of these heroic soldiers. In doing so, they preserved and strengthen the fraternal bonds they formed during the war.
The mission of our founders continues with our membership today and is further evidenced by our holding our 100th annual consecutive reunion on August 24-25, 2018, at Camp Perry in Port Clinton, OH; please see the Centennial Celebration tab for coverage of that event.
The 37th ID celebrated their 100th birthday in July 2017. Please visit the 37th ID 100th Birthday tab for coverage of that event.
We provide a place to call and a person to talk to about the items highlighted on our website. Our camaraderie is as strong as our dedication is to the nation. Please join our association and its members in continuing the legacy and heritage of the 37th Infantry Division.
