As citizens, we owe a debt of respect, honor, and gratitude to all those who have served in the United States Armed Forces. Our Veterans have time and again, answered the call to protect and defend. Please join the Southeast ADA Center throughout the year and on Veterans Day to honor and support our Veterans.
According to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), almost 5 million Veterans live with a service-connected disability and another 9 million are aged 65 years or older. Did you know the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) provides protections for Veterans with disabilities against discrimination? Explore resources to learn about the ADA and related topics for Veterans and military families.
