This resolution honors and commends the Blinded Veterans Association for its 80 years of dedicated service, advocacy, and support for blind and low-vision veterans. The resolution also urges the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to (1) guarantee safe access for guide dogs and guide dog users at VA facilities, and (2) ensure that each VA medical center has a trained and capable Service Dog Champion (i.e., a designated staff member who addresses service animal access and issues) on site. Further, the resolution reaffirms the commitment of the Senate to supporting and improving services and opportunities available to all veterans.
