Honoring America's Veterans
On Veterans Day we remember those who have served our country through military service, including these AWTT portrait subjects:
Dwight D. Eisenhower, WW II Allied Commander, Supreme Commander of NATO, and U.S. Commander in Chief during the Korean War, who said, "Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."
Major General Smedley Butler, the most decorated Marine in U.S. history and author of War is a Racket.
Harriet Tubman, cook, nurse, scout, and spy for the Union army during the Civil War and guide to a troop of 150 soldiers in the Combahee River Raid, rescuing over 750 slaves. (She was never adequately compensated for her wartime services, granted only a widow's pension.)
