Soviet Veterans of the Second World War $125 Millions of Soviet soldiers died in the USSR's struggle for survival against Nazi Germany but millions more returned to Stalin's state after victory. Mark Edele traces the veterans' story from the early post-war years through to the end of the Soviet Union in 1991. He describes in detail the problems they encountered during demobilization, the dysfunctional bureaucracy they had to deal with once back, and the way their reintegration into civilian life worked in practice in one ofthe most devastated countries of Europe. He pays particular attention to groups with specific problems such as the disabled, former prisoners of war, women soldiers, and youth. The study analyses the old soldiers' long struggle for recognition and the eventual emergence of an organized movement in the years after Stalin's death. The Soviet state at first refused to recognize veterans as a group worthy of special privileges or as an organization. They were not a group conceived of in Marxist-Leninist theory, there was suspicion about their political loyalty, and the leadership worried about the costs of affording a special status to such a large population group. Thesepreconceptions were overcome only after a long, hard struggle by a popular movement that slowly emerged within the strict confines of the authoritarian Soviet regime. |

Through Veterans' Eyes by Minear, Larry Edition , 1 $24.49 As of early 2010, more than two million U.S. troops have served in Iraq and Afghanistan. Yet the American public is neither much engaged in the issues of these two wars nor particularly knowledgeable about the troops’ experiences, which have ranged from positive and energizing to searing and debilitating.Based on scores of interview--some culled from the Library of Congress Veterans History Project and others conducted by the author himself--Through Veterans’ Eyespresents a composite narrative of the experiences of U.S. service personnel in Iraq and Afghanistan. Minear quotes more than 175 veterans by name and includes a dozen of their own photos from the conflict theaters. Thematic chapters cover duty and service, politics, cultural and ethical challenges, relationships to local populations, and reentry into American society. Neither pro-war nor anti-war, Minear’s approach encourages veterans to express their views on issues critical to the nation.What has motivated U.S. military personnel to enlist? What specific challenges have they faced in Iraq and Afghanistan? What have been the impacts of deployment on their families and communities? Is their experience changing their views of their country and the world? What lessons may be learned from their stories? Veterans’ candid responses to these and other probing questions deserve pondering. |

Surviving Veterans of the Spanish Civil War $66.91 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The following is a list of known surviving veterans of the Spanish Civil War (July 17, 1936 April 1, 1939).

Ocular Prosthetics and Prosthetic Eye Care - War Veterans Who Need an Ocular Prosthetic
Eyes that have suffered severe trauma require removal and replacement with artificial eyes. Some of the most grim optical trauma cases involve veterans of wars in the Middle East.
Second Lieutenant Peter Sprenger has a glimmering blue ocular prosthetic, and a story behind it. He was blinded in one eye by a suicide car bomber in Iraq. Lt. Sprenger, 26, shrugs off the experience, and simply talks about having "a missing eye."
There have been so many cases of soldiers needing prosthetic eye care that the Veterans Administration recently re-wrote its rules about paying for ocular prosthetics.
This is a new development, as are modern prosthetic eyes that can be worn even when sleeping. There is also a new generation of artificial eye lubricants - using silicone - which is especially effective for the newer devices that can be left in for a long time.
Finding a Good Prosthetic Eye Lubricant
Veterans and their families are familiar with the need for "lube" or "drops" for artificial eyes. People with prosthetics suffer "dry eye". Tears that bathe the eyeball cannot soothe the socket from the natural irritation of having a piece of plastic or glass or acrylic there.
A veteran named Carl, who lost an eye to an explosion in Iraq, explains. "I had adjusted quite well with the (prosthetic) eye and accepted that I would be using eyedrops forever. I heard about (a brand of silicone prosthetic eye lubricant) and asked my ocularist about it. He said it is safe as he recommends it." Carl found it online and calls it "affordable and accessible".
Reasons Oculists Recommend Silicone Eye Care Products
1.Silicone does not completely dry. When used to moisten an ocular implant, it lasts far longer than older saline "artificial tears".
2.Silicone is available in 100% strength.
3.The FDA approved medical-grade silicone for use with ocular prosthetics.
4.Silicone is thick and viscous. It spreads evenly over the replacement orb, and stays in place.
5.The lubricating ability of silicone has been known for years, and has been safely used in other personal care products.
6.Some over-the-counter lubricants are oil or alcohol based, and should be avoided, according to the website Combat Magazine.
In the new film about veterans, "The Messenger", there is a scene in which a character's wounds are introduced when we see him using ocular lubrication. Ocular prosthetics and drops are a reality in the service world of today.
Many brave soldiers shrug off their replacement implants. Lieutenant Sprenger simply refers to his "missing eye". He went through rigorous testing to prove he could remain in the Army, and will graduate from Office Candidate School and lead a unit, according to a feature story on the Army Times website.
Two final thoughts
There is no good reason to use old-fashioned saline eyedrops when silicone formulas are available at the touch of a web search engine.
And, the thoughts of a famous poet:
When I am a veteran
With only one eye,
I shall do nothing
But look at the sky.
by W.H. Auden
