The population of incarcerated American veterans--estimated at roughly 150,000--has unique health needs given the stressors presented from incarceration, any combat-related injuries (both physical and psychological), and experiences prior to contact with either the military or the criminal justice system itself. This paper explores the care and community shared by a group of older Vietnam-era veterans in Pennsylvania. Like other groups of veterans, these men are socialized to downplay their own health needs, despite being an especially vulnerable group given their extended periods of incarceration and their older ages. Based on participant observation and interview data from incarcerated veterans and formerly incarcerated veterans who advocate on their behalf, this paper explores the gendered carework done by veterans for other veterans.
