This resolution celebrates 80 years of work by the Blinded Veterans Association, an organization that serves blind and low-vision veterans. It also encourages the Department of Veterans Affairs to make sure guide dogs and their handlers can safely access VA facilities, and to have a trained staff member at each VA medical center to help with service animal access.
How it affects you
This resolution is ceremonial in nature. However, if the VA follows the encouragement in the resolution, blind and low-vision veterans who use guide dogs would benefit from better access to VA medical centers and clearer support for their service animals.
