# Industry on Parade: Serving Those Who Served, Salvaged Skills

0563 PA8200 Industry on Parade: Serving Those Who Served, Salvaged Skills. About vocational rehabilitation programs for disabled veterans and workers. It highlights two main examples: a school of watchmaking in Woodside, Long Island, which trained veterans who were at least 70% physically disabled — providing them with free instruction and a full set of tools upon graduation — and a Philadelphia manufacturing plant (Leeds & Northrop) that employed blind and physically disabled workers in precision instrument production. The overarching message is that people with physical disabilities, when given the right opportunity and training, can become fully productive members of the workforce, echoing a sentiment attributed to General Omar Bradley about industry recognizing the skills of "brave and patient men."
