As a World War II combat veteran, I am greatly concerned that the William Joiner Center for the Study of War and its Social Consequences at the University of Massachusetts Boston is facing severe cuts in funding and faces closing (“Center aiding veterans faces uncertain future,” April 13).
I see the research center as an important resource for vets because it has aided thousands of veterans from Vietnam on up to the present in its studies of post-traumatic stress, the impact of the experience of war on the reintegration of returning soldiers into their families and civilian life.
I am concerned that the center for vets be immediately adequately funded to continue its essential critical research and study of the meaning and social consequences of war.
