Disabled Veterans

Another way in which the Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944 not only brought support to veterans who were capable of getting back into the job market but also to those who were not capable of readjusting back into American society. Many disabled veterans were able to find some relief thanks to the G.I. Bill. The G.I. Bill was able to build a few systems of support for disabled veterans in the form of veteran's hospitals and vocational rehabilitation programs¹ . Many of these facilities focus on aiding veterans against 'psychoneurosis' a form of stress that comes from the many dangers and challenges that veteran is forced to deal with on the frontlines. Many of these veteran's hospitals and vocational rehabilitation programs were equipped to handle and aid these disabled veterans in their battles for their mental health. The main treatment that the US military would employ was what they called 'reconditioning' programs² . This program would give veterans physical, educational, and occupational therapy in order to fully readjust back into American public and society.
