MUST READ! NCD letter to HHS/OCR: OCR should rapidly head off what could be yet another time in US history when people w/ disabilities are left to die because medical decisions remain infused with disability bias... https://t.co/CMKiZYUkDx

Despite the efforts of the Army to treat the Invalid Corps as a "Corps of Honor" General Order Number 111 issued on March 18, 1864 changed the name of the Invalid Corps to the Veteran Reserve Corps.

Take a moment to peek into history. Do you know who owned the land that would become Fort Stevens? It was Elizabeth Thomas.
