DOT’s latest suggestion is meaningless if travelers with disabilities are unable to enter the restroom in order to take advantage of the accessibility features within the restroom. “The administration continues to turn its back on America’s paralyzed veterans by reaching far and wide for any excuse to unlawfully deny travelers the relief they’ve spent years fighting for,” said Democracy Forward Counsel Karianne Jones. “PVA members continue to be denied a basic dignity afforded to airline passengers—the ability to use a restroom on an airplane,” said David Zurfluh, national president of Paralyzed Veterans of America. “After fighting for access for over 30 years so that our members and all people with disabilities can use an airplane restroom, enough is enough.

    Section 10: Outdoor Action Song Guide

    Section 10: Outdoor Action Song Guide Songs, just like games, can be a useful and fun addition to a trip. Whether used to get the group warmed up on a chilly morning or to lighten the mood on the trail, songs should be a part of your leader bag of tricks. Most of these songs represent relatively low interpersonal risk except for songs that single out individuals such as Little Sally Walker. As for any activity, use your leader radar to determine when the individual and group dynamics are appropriate for a particular song. Enjoy! 10-1 Old Nassau Tune every heart and every voice, bid every care withdraw; Let all with one accord rejoice, in praise of Old Nassau. In praise of Old Nassau we sing, Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah! Our hearts will give while we shall live, three cheers for Old Nassau. 10-2 10-3 10-4 10-5 10-6 10-7 10-8 Go Bananas CHORUS (With Actions) LEADER: Bananas of the world…UNITE! Thumbs up! Elbows back!
