President's Message

Welcome to the National Association of Blind Veterans website. We have recently revamped our website and hope you find it informative and easy to navigate. We have filled it with as much information about blind veterans and their families that we could find. We are a small band of blind and sighted veterans, their families and friends and interested associates that support the issues and challenges of Blind Veterans. This site is intended to further the opportunity of our group to interact with the expanding world around us. Although, we are a small group we carry a big punch as we strive to better the lives of our brothers and sisters who have been humble and honorable enough to be willing to pay the ultimate price for their country. We are always interested in growing our band of sisters and brothers, if you are interested please contact me at mr_president@nabv.org or give me a call at (706)329-7960. Additionally, we have a few open officer and board of director positions open and would like some motivated veterans to join us as we strive to complete our mission. Our elections will take place at our next national convention in New Orleans at our reception and division meeting in July 2022.Finally, thank you for taking the time to visit our websiteCordially, VernVernon F.
