Veterans aid fellow blinded vets through peer support
First Sergeant Danny Wallace Ret. describes how blindness from a Iraq car bombing led him to join the Blinded Veterans Association and its Operation Peer Support program. The effort connects combat blinded veterans with newly blinded peers, offers education, rehab through sports, technology, and career guidance, and inspires Wallace to serve as BVA Sergeant at Arms while mentoring others like Mark Wilson. The program originated in 1945 to aid blind and visually impaired veterans in accessing benefits, services, and advocacy.
