Disabled veterans in need of volunteer drivers

A nationwide program for disabled veterans that originated in South Dakota is vigorously searching for volunteers.

Army veteran Mike Kramar served a deployment in Germany from 1972 to 1974. Kramar’s transportation was arranged for him when he served his country overseas, but not when he needed hip surgery nearly 50 years later.

That is, until Kramar called the Disabled American Veterans Transportation Network and they connected him with a volunteer driver.

”Back in 2019, I had to have hip surgery. So, I called him up. He was the one who was able to go and get me down there for my surgery. When I was all done with my surgery, he was able to go and take me back. Not all people can have the honor to have that done,” said Kramar.
