American History

White House Landing and in other capacities is important, thanks for adding the info. I learned a little about these troops at a Union Civil War historic site where I worked.

- Links on the US Veteran Reserve Corps in the Civil War. During the Revolutionary War, a corps of troops with disabilites was formed in the Continental Army so I read. At a White House conference on the ADA years back I enjoyed seeing WWII veteran Harold Russell the keynote speaker, Ted Kennedy, Jr. and Tony Coehlo.
