Paralyzed Veterans of America are marking the 67th anniversary of it's founding by urging all Americans to take a stand for veterans.

April is Paralyzed Veterans of America Awareness Month

With the theme The Big Push for Progress and events across the country, Paralyzed Veterans Awareness Month highlights the unique challenges facing veterans with spinal cord injury/disease. It spotlights the work of Paralyzed Veterans to empower seriously wounded heroes and their families with everything they need to thrive.

“Paralyzed Veterans of America has pushed hard for progress over our 67 years and we’ve delivered results. But we have much more progress to make in the cause of veterans and their families. Look at the challenges we face today: government funding cuts that could impact veterans and a disabled veterans unemployment rate three to eight times higher than average, to name just two issues,” said Bill Lawson, U.S. Army veteran and national president of Paralyzed Veterans. “That’s why I’m asking my fellow Americans to help me this April, Paralyzed Veterans Awareness Month, in redoubling our efforts for positive change. We need you to be part of our big push for progress.” 

Lawson will be traveling across America during this very special month to raise awareness for Mission: ABLE, Paralyzed Veterans’ campaign to help veterans with disabilities fully live the lives they deserve and to receive what they need most: care, benefits and jobs. The campaign aims to enlist all Americans — citizens, communities and companies — in an effort to help paralyzed veterans and their families live full, independent and productive lives.
