This is an era of U.S. history that I personally lived through.  It began when I was in high school. The older boys were being drafted and going to Vietnam. Several had  already died. And a star quarterback had returned home a quadriplegic.  When 15 yrs old, I and my friends knew that our time was coming soon if the war continued.  It did. One of the three primary advisers to the President about this war was Henry Kissinger. Although he was a Harvard professor, he taught at our local state university for a semester.

'A nation reveals itself not only by the men it produces, but also by the men it honors' – John F. Kennedy, 1963 The greatest advancement for US veterans came with the establishment of the U.S. Veterans Administration in 1930.

Bill of Rights. Among other things, this bill provided job training for over 600,000 WWII veterans. It also guaranteed the re-employment of anyone who left a job to join...

“Joblessness poses no less a risk than smoking, diabetes and hypertension,” says Matthew Dupre, Professor of Medicine at Duke University. The greatest risk for heart  attacks comes from ‘involuntary job loss,” particularly for those 50 years and older. – However retirement seems to have no such consequence. After an 18 year study, involving 13,451 men and women the National Health Study determined that the loss of one job increases the chance of suffering heart attack by 22%.   But each additional job loss, due to being laid off or fired, continues to increase the risk of a heart attack dramatically. After 4...

Part II -- (Part One can be found HERE.)Since our War of Independence there has been progressively better pay, pensions, care and assistance given to our US veterans.  But this fact remains, US veterans receive far more concern and benefits from our Government when they unite in one voice and are a political force. In the 1860s America was torn by the Civil War. This war was so horrific that if we add up all of the US war dead in all others wars, we still lost more in this War Between the States (700,000). We began this strife with 80,000...

Anyone disabled due to their defense of the colony against Indians was awarded a pension. And all of our future founding colonies followed suit. But any assistance for US veterans for getting back on their feet after being absent from the ’real world’ for years or decades has only been forthcoming when the percentage of US veterans represents significant political clout. Knowing...
