   I am going to do some research on the history of laws for the
   disabled. I am writing to this list to get some leads that will
   send me down the right track.
   I inquired about the GI Bill of Rights, figuring that maybe there
   was something in that for disabled World War II vets, but found
   nothing.
   Next, I am going to look into the history of the Veterans
   Administration, which I believe goes back to the end of the first
   World War.
   Am I on the right track? Does anybody know of laws or provisions
   made for blinded World War Two vets?
   Thank you for any feed-back.
