F or most who served compensation for years lost have never been fully restored. The 'implied contract' they agreed upon enlistment or conscription bore no fruit for them. Hundreds of Vietnam War era men and women are homeless. In the coming weeks The American War Library will provide Proposal Papers on each of the above.

America's next Memorial Day should and must have a political purpose. Vietnam and Gulf War veterans are dying at a rate similar to their World War II and Korean War fathers and grandfathers. This death rate among Vietnam and Gulf War veterans is phenomenally abnormal. To ensure dignity of life for Americans who served in time of war or conflict our president and congress must enact compensatory resolutions providing veterans a quality of life equal to their non-military peers. Men and women who devote a period of their life to keeping America secure should not have to play catch up the rest of their lives.
