John Birdzell ’61 is retired and a U.S. Army Veteran. He volunteers his spare time now to pick up veterans in northwest Indiana and take them to the Adam Benjamin Jr. VA Memorial Clinic in Crown Point, Indiana for medical appointments and care, and often to catch a shuttle to another medical center in Chicago.
This morning, John was featured in the National Public Radio Morning Edition program, “Veterans Choice Act Fails to Ease Travel Burdens for Vets in Need of Care.” Click here to read or listen to John comment about the challenges veterans face and how he does his part to help.
Thank you, John!
