VA and Veteran Readiness and Employment (VR&E) are proud to recognize the 36th Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). On July 26, we celebrate this important law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life, including jobs, schools, transportation, and all public and private places that are open to the general public. The purpose of the law is to make sure that people with disabilities have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else.
