The Chowan Veteran
What is a veteran? There are many
opinions about the Vietnam War Veteran,
and some of these opinions are not highly
rated and rightfully so. Some veterans
have earned low opinions by their actions
in public. The purpose of this article is to
put emphasis on ^e veterans who do not
get such publicity.
Veterans come from all walks of life and
are not limited to just men. There are
many women that have earned the proud
name of a veteran also. Young men have
entered a new life of military service, have
excelled in their duties, have come out
mth a good record, and a desire to im
prove their standing in society. The desire
to improve themselves is helped by the
many varied benefits that the Federal
Government has made available to the
men and women who have served
honorably in the Armed Services of the
United States of America. One of these
benefits is education.
The student body of Chowan is fortunate
to have several veterans involved in the
many phases of education. Some veterans
have made the comment that they would
be in college without the aid of Veterans
Assistance. Still there are many that say
they would probably be out working in
stead of going to college if it was not for the
Veteran’s Assistance. However, there are
veterans mat will not devote the time and
effort that is needed to get involved in
education.
On the campus of Chowan the veterans
can not be recognized by i^ysical ap
pearances. But the way veterans stick to
the task and the desire to know is easily
recognized. Even though many veterans
get knocked down in their educational
efforts, they stiU get up and try it again.
