Description of BVA Emblem

To picture the emblem, think of a sculptured disc. The face of the disc is a composite of layered symbols inside a red-bordered circle. The base is formed by white, fluffy clouds. The next layer features a five-pointed star with each point reaching out to the edge of the circle. To the left of the top point is a blue Star of David and to the right a blue Christian Cross. A red broken bayonet runs vertically,centered in the upper portion of the five-pointed star. The top layer of the composite depicts a brown arm reaching from the right and a white arm reaching from the left. In the middle of the emblem, the arms meet in a handshake. Under the hands and the point of the bayonet are the blue capital letters "B", "V", and "A".

The five-pointed star represents the five branches of the Armed Forces. The hands emerging from the background of clouds represent blindness. The clasped hands, one white and the other brown, symbolize the unity of races. The broken bayonet stands for blindness resulting from a war injury. The Star of David and the Christian Cross represent the unity of creeds. The initials represent the name Blinded Veterans Association.

The name Blinded Veteran's Association goes around the top portion outside of the outer circle.
