A USA Today Veterans Day special edition, published annually, has included a feature story in this year’s issue on blinded veterans and their current challenges and opportunities in adjusting to life with vision loss.

The article, composed by freelance writer Matt Alderton, touches on issues such as recovery, rehabilitation and training, education and career planning, relationships, legislation, technology, and guide dogs.

BVA Executive Director Donald Overton, former BVA National President David Szumowski (San Diego Regional Group), and BVA member John Todd (Michigan Regional Group) were all interviewed and quoted in the article.
