Charlie Brown, national president of the Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA), spoke on the importance of long-term care and assistance for disabled veterans at a Joint House and Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee on March 1.
“In order to be here today, I had to have help from my paid caregiver,” said Brown, who sustained a massive spinal cord injury in a diving accident in 1986 while serving in the U.S. Marine Corps in Cherry Point, N.C.
