Libraries serving veterans and veterans' needs is not a new concept. More than 120,000 libraries across the United States support veterans by providing "safe places where people care and want to help, and where core professional values of respect and confidentiality are upheld." This role defines not only the inherent service mission of libraries in general, but also the democratic and inclusive qualities that library workers strive to uphold daily.

"Veteranen? Sind das nicht die betagten Herren, die, manchmal in ihrer alten Uniform, bei Gedenkfeiern und Jahrestagen stramm stehen, ihre Orden stolz an der Brust? Oder die ärgerlichen Männer, die als 'Veterans for Peace' Proteste gegen die laufenden Kriege organisieren? Mit solchen Klischees hat Michael Daxner bei seinem Nachdenken über Veteranen der Bundeswehr nichts im Sinn." (Autorenreferat)

"Since its inception, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has been involved in protecting the health of U.S. military personnel and veterans. In fact, CDC was established to address concerns about malaria among our troops during World War II. In more recent years, CDC's National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH) has taken the lead in addressing the health concerns of veterans of the Vietnam War and the Gulf War, and NCEH is working with the Departments of Defense (DoD) and Veterans Affairs (VA) to protect the health of our future military forces. NCEH's ongoing and completed activities in these areas are described below." ; Vietnam studies-- Gulf War studies -- Force health protection ; Acrobat .pdf file (699 KB, 14 p.) ; Originally created 5/25/2005, last updated 9/15/2010. ; At head of title: CDC. ; Includes bibliographical references.

The study of military veterans and politics has been a growing area of interest, but most research on the topic has remained isolated in specific, unconnected fields of inquiry. This is a multidisciplinary, comprehensive examination of the American veteran experience. The editor has compiled some of the best work on the formation and impact of veterans' policies, the politics of veterans' issues, and veterans' political engagement over the course of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries in the United States.
