40 Years and Still Going Strong

By VVAW

Reprinted above is the front page of the first issue of VVAW's The 1st Casualty from August of 1971. In 1973, The 1st Casualty became Winter Soldier. In 1975, it became The Veteran.

The 1st Casualty was the first voice of Vietnam veterans in America, and has consistently addressed issues of peace and justice. Original articles on Post Traumatic Stress and Agent Orange have appeared since its first year of publication.

The Veteran continues publishing twice a year, still providing a voice to Vietnam Vets as well as vets and supporters from other conflicts. An ongoing project to digitize all past issues continues. Go to www.vvaw.org/veteran to view past issues.
