The Blinded Veterans Association (BVA) is an organization of blinded veterans helping blinded veterans. Through our service programs, regional groups, resources, and advocacy before the legislative and executive branches of government, we hope to make life better for blinded veterans. We also hope to be there with encouragement and support. There is no charge for any BVA service and membership is not a prerequisite to obtain help. All legally blinded veterans are also eligible for BVA’s assistance whether they become blind during or after active duty military service.

Blinded veterans and their families throughout the country commemorated Veterans Day at parades, ceremonies, and social events. Pictured here, left to right near Arlington National

More than 120 walkers and their dogs recently helped raise in excess of $22,000 in support of The Hadley School's Blinded Veterans Initiative. The Hounds for Hadley Dog Walk was held on
October 6 in Winnetka, Illinois. More>
