Yes, but that hardly answered Lily's question:

How does Segs4vets find those who need their services? The general military public that I run into are certainly not aware of this service...

I'm a veteran, am associated with several veterans organizations, and have experienced the same lack of awareness that Lily mentions.
A few years ago, I demonstrated the Segway at a local chapter meeting. But a query to the national organization (MOAA) showed total unawareness.
I am well aware of the excellent work being done by DRAFT/Segs4Vets. And I deeply appreciate it. So, they must be finding folks some way.
However, if I (for example) look at the VA's "Directory of Veterans Service Organizations", I don't see anything. Similarly, a search of sites for MOAA, VFW, American Legion, etc. don't turn up anything reasonably applicable.
So, why is that?
