fords response to requesting pressure on dav to install ramps in their vans
DESCRIPTION
This is the Ford reponse to an email I sent (so far). It's "how to say nothing while saying something". In my email to Ford Motor Company, I asked them to pressure the DAV (Disabled American Veterans) to install ramps in the Vans they use to transport Veterans to the VA (Veterans Administration) Medical Facilities. Currently, most the the Vans are not ramp equipped and the most disabled Vets in Chairs are "not allowed" to ride this free service. They have to pay hundreds (transport by self pay ambulette) to thousands (transport by self pay ambulance) of dollars to be Transported to the VA Medical Facilities for Care.TRANSCRIPT
