Disabled vets to be honored
A Pembroke Pines man is behind a national effort to build the country's first memorial for all living and deceased disabled veterans.
Though Victor Biggs never served his country in uniform, he wants to show his gratitude to those who have. It's one of the primary reasons the Pembroke Pines man is at the forefront of a national effort to honor America's disabled war veterans.
Biggs is the executive director of the Disabled Veterans LIFE Memorial Foundation, a Delray Beach-based nonprofit group with the sole objective of raising money to build the nation's first memorial for all living and deceased disabled veterans.

A new commemorative coin honoring disabled veterans goes on sale today from the U.S. Mint that will help defray the cost of building a memorial to troops disabled for life.
The 2010 American Veterans Disabled for Life Silver Dollar was the brainchild of the Disabled Veterans' LIFE Memorial Foundation, which formed in 1998 and two years later was authorized by Congress to establish the memorial on a two-acre site just south of the Capitol, says Cliff Northup, director of legislative and intergovernmental affairs for the U.S. Mint.
