Members of the Guilford High School baseball team joined with the Yale Veterans Association (VA) and the Eastern Blind Rehabilitation Service (EBRS) of the VA Connecticut Health System in preparing and planting the West Haven VA’s Blind Center vegetable garden on May 5. Students and other volunteers took part in an educational program, met with blind veterans, and participated in an awards ceremony, pinning official Vietnam service lapel pins on Vietnam veterans.
