Blind World War II Vets Enter Broad Occupations
A Veterans Administration survey of 448 veterans in training and 536 at work shows blinded World War II veterans occupy nearly every major field, from acting to cabinetmaking, with many in public-facing jobs and professional tracks. About 1,094 veterans lost sight from service-related causes, and many trainees pursue managerial, teaching, law, or social work paths, while others study acting, engineering, or journalism. Several named Navy personnel and ship transfers are noted alongside plans to reactivate the Langley carrier and enlistment opportunities for civilians.
