December 8, 2015

We have much to be thankful for this holiday season (and the rest of the year), thanks in large part to military veterans who have selflessly given of themselves to protect our country and livelihood.

This holiday season, there are tons of ways to honor disabled veterans throughout the United States. Below are some holiday gift ideas for disabled veterans.
