Watch the new American Veterans Disabled for Life Memorial go up

 They tested the flame this morning, getting ready for Sunday's dedication.

"It basically is a memorial that tells you of the terrifying consequences of any war," said Dennis Joyner, who lost three limbs to a booby-trap in Vietnam.

A picture of a little girl pushing her father in a wheelchair is the one that resonates most for Joyner. His sons had to do the same for him.

"One of the things that I've always struggled with somewhat is I've never really felt that the general public really understands or understood what disabled veterans go through," said Joyner.
