Congressman Dave Camp is honored today in Traverse City for efforts to help disabled persons find jobs.

A ceremony was held this morning at the Veteran's Administration outpatient clinic naming camp an ability one champion.

It currently employs more than 40,000 people.

Grand Traverse Industries, which has a federal contract with the ability one program, nominated camp for title.
