VA building has no handicap way in?

Idaho Falls
A Veteran's Struggle to Get In

Posted: Jan 1, 2010 11:25 PM EST


Reporting: Johnny Archer

A building in Bonneville County used for U.S. Veteran's Affairs has no handicap accessibility and there are some veterans who want to see that changed.

Veterans from counties other than Bonneville County use the building; vets that live as far away as Wyoming and Montana come to use it as well.

Douglas Stewart, disabled Vietnam veteran: "Vietnam veterans, Korean veterans and some of the Gulf War veterans that are all confined to a wheelchair have no way of getting into this building."

The building Stewart is referring to is the Veteran's Memorial Hall in Idaho Falls where hundreds of vets each month come to receive needed services; many of the vets are physically disabled.
