Military Officer - January 2006 - (Page 24) rapidfire New Year, New Limits T A Place to Honor Disabled Veterans V eterans who have been wounded face many challenges — learning to live without sight or the use of limbs, retiring from the only career they’ve ever known, and dealing with emotional scars. A new memorial planned in Washington, D.C., will honor the dedication and bravery of those permanently disabled veterans and express the nation’s gratitude for their sacrifice. The American Veterans Disabled for Life Memorial will occupy a 2-acre site adjacent to the National Mall, within full view of the U.S. Capitol. The focal point of the marble and glass memorial will be a star-shaped reflecting pool with an eternal flame rising from its center. A grove of trees will stand sentry-like beside the pool. The Disabled Veterans Life Memorial Foundation is raising the estimated $65 million in private funds needed to build and maintain the memorial. ON THE WEB ■ For more information on the disabled veterans memorial, visit www.avdlm.com. he tax year 2006 brings a welcome increase to IRA contribution limits.
