The Christian Science Monitor reports that wounded Iraqi vets are getting unprecedented amounts of assistance with finding employment and/or continuing their education. These soldiers are undoubtedly receiving a better transition experience than previous generations. I remain firm in my belief that these men and women, whether they know it or not, are going to have a tremendous influence on the disability rights movement, much as the Vietnam vets did thirty years ago. Perhaps they will play a role in ensuring that every American with a disability has access to similar opportunities for success and integration.
