Forgotten Warriors -

Veterans aging across the nation come from different generations, different backgrounds and even different wars.  By glancing back and reviewing the part these veterans played in history, students will be reminded of the profound and often lasting effects of war on every individual caught in its grasp.  By analyzing the soldier through glimpses of history, life reviews and journal articles, students will identify specific veteran cohorts, aging issues, along with a review of the Veterans Administration and the responsibility that began back in 1865 when Abraham Lincoln promised to “… care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow and his orphan.”
