<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Cathy,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m asking a favor. We have a program at the museum tomorrow for Veteran’s Day, and I’m trying to build an audience. Could you maybe pass this along to NFB’ers who might be interested (or who might be veterans)? It’s going to be a really
good program, and I hate that people who are interested might miss it.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here’s the info:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;background:white;vertical-align:baseline">
<i><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Reclaiming the Dream: The Story of Rehabilitation for Blinded Veterans</span></i> honors the thousands of American soldiers, sailors, and airmen who returned home from their service in World War I with damaged vision.
<span style="background:#FEFEFE">Unlike later generations of wounded vets, the young men who returned from “the war to end all wars” encountered a system unprepared for the nature of their wounds and uncertain about the role of the nation in rehabilitating
a blinded veteran</span>. Today, people who are blind travel with ease to schools restaurants, offices—and wherever else their lives may take them. But it was not always so. It took the commitment of the nation and the perseverance of the veterans themselves
to create lasting change. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="background:#FEFEFE">Two special guests will tell the story. Dr. Thomas Zampiere lost his sight to a degenerative eye disease seventeen years ago. He is currently the vice-president of the National
Blinded Veterans Association, where he advocates for veterans and their medical needs, especially those suffering eye traumas. He will describe the medical treatment available for WWI doughboys and swabbies blinded in the war and the birth of modern rehabilitation
in field hospitals behind the lines and in the Evergreen Army Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. Dr. Rob Mazzoli, a military trauma ophthalmologist and military historian, will compare the treatment of blinded veterans in World War I to those who were blinded
in World War II and also to what is being done today for veterans blinded in conflicts in the Middle East and Afghanistan.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="background:#FEFEFE">As World War I sparked the dog guide movement, the program also features a modern guide dog team and explains the origins of the practice of using dogs as guides in German hospitals
for wounded soldiers.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks so much.<o:p></o:p></p>
