Program participants will meet professionals who were pioneers in the development of special services available to blinded veterans, hear some of the personal experiences of veterans who have taken part in the programs, and see early examples of electronic travel aids, now part of the museum’s collection and unveiled for public viewing for the first time, on November 15.
