Soldier's Home (National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers)

The Soldier’s Home, officially called the National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers, was established after the Civil War to provide housing, healthcare, and support for wounded, disabled, and aging veterans. It aimed to help these former soldiers rebuild their lives and integrate back into society. Funded by the government, the home offered medical care, vocational training, and a community environment. Over time, it evolved into a network of facilities, emphasizing rehabilitation, respect, and recognition for veterans' service and sacrifices.
