Who We Are

The Blinded Veterans Association (BVA) traces its roots back to the end of WORLD WAR II. BVA forefathers were a group of veterans blinded during the conflict. In 1945 hey met at Avon Old Farms Army Convalescent Hospital at Avon, CT and founded the Association. Thirteen years later, BVA received its charter from the United States Congress. Ever since, the Blinded Veterans Association has worked to accomplish the mission expressed in our congressional charter.
