The VA is the Veterans Administration. A Cabinet level department of the US Government charged with providing care to and administering benefits of veterans of the US armed forces. Ask how well they do that and you normally get a lot of obscene words. Ask me and I'll agree with the low assessment.
The DAV (Disabled American Veterans) is a volunteer service organization whose self stated mission is to aid disabled vets by various means. Membership is limited to disabled vets. I'm not real keen on them at the moment either.
The American Legion is a volunteer service organization open to those who served in the armed forces during specified times, normally times of conflict. Their mission has to do with helping vets.

The Va is the Department of Veterans Affairs which is a cabinet position and is run in accordance with Titles 38 and 41 of United States Code. The Disabled American Veterans (DAV) and the American Legion are both non-profit, non-governmental, veterans groups who are chartered by the Congress under Title 45 of United States Code.. In exchange for that recogntion via Congressional Charter, they agree to periodic audits of their books by the General Accountability Office (GAO).
