Memorial for disabled veterans approved near Capitol
The National Capital Memorial Commission approved a memorial for 2.3 million disabled veterans to be placed about two blocks west of the Capitol opposite the U.S. Botanic Garden. Lois Pope began lobbying in 1996 after serving veterans in New York during the Vietnam era, calling war costs stark. FDA said a lab error led to an incorrect contamination determination for Sargento shredded cheese, prompting a voluntary recall due to possible Listeria.
