We are thrilled to share some fantastic news with our membership: The Blinded Veterans Association family is growing stronger than ever! We are proud to announce that 46 remarkable individuals have recently joined our esteemed organization, and their commitment to our mission is truly inspiring. We also thank our BVA Ambassadors and other recruiters who are volunteering at VA facilities and spreading the word about the Association.
Our recruiters during the recent two months have included Tracy Ferro, Kevin Jackson, Donna-Sue Sullivan, Michaun Harrison, Yoneka Trent, Elizabeth Holmes, William Graves, Eduardo Miranda, Jeanie Murphy, Kenneth Asam, Keith Tackett, Vernon Humphrey, and Stephen Butler.
Our new members come from diverse backgrounds and experiences, most of them serving during the Vietnam Era. We are still signing up members who served during World War II. Incidentally, the membership fee for World War II veterans has been waived.
The list of new members is available to our dedicated District Directors, who play a vital role in connecting with and supporting our members in various regions across the country. At BVA we take immense pride in the sense of camaraderie and support that our members offer one another. With these 46 recent additions, we are not only growing our numbers but also expanding the network of support available to all our members. Together, we continue to champion the rights and well-being of blind and low vision veterans, ensuring they receive the care and recognition they both deserve and have rightly earned.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our new members for choosing to be part of the BVA family. Your presence strengthens our collective voice and empowers us to make a lasting impact on the lives of blinded veterans across the nation.
As we welcome our new members with open arms, let us all continue to work together to honor the sacrifices of our blind and low vision veterans. Let us make a meaningful difference in one another’s lives. The future is bright for the Blinded Veterans Association, thanks to members like you who stand with us in our mission.
