Car-deer collisions are a way of life in northern Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula, often causing significant long-term inconvenience to drivers waiting for vehicle repairs.
However, thanks to a generous donation from Town and Country Sales, Veterans at the Oscar G. Johnson VA Medical Center (OGJVAMC) will continue to receive access to free transportation to medical appointments without waiting.
The Veteran Transportation Network (VTN) is a volunteer-led network that provides free transportation for Veterans from their local area to the Iron Mountain VA Medical Center for scheduled medical appointments. This network is supported by vehicles donated to VA through the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) grant program. The grant program allows local Veteran service organizations to partner with the national DAV office to purchase DAV vehicles at a reduced rate and donate them to VA for VTN use.
