Abstract

After the tragedy of war, when the weapons of death and destruction are momentarily silenced, the scarred and affiliated war veteran returns home with the hope in his heart for an eternal peace. Also, he returns with the expectancy of receiving the medical ears and treatment equal to the ultimate in service which he has rendered his country.Realizing our debt to these defenders, an executive order was issued to establish an independent agency to treat, these, our sick and affiliated veterans. On 1 July 21, 1930 the Veterans Administration was established. It consolidated all hospitals and agencies charged with administering laws relative to relief, pensions, education, Insurance and other benefits provided by law to veterans.
