- From the American Revolution through the Spanish-American War, over 100,000 women collected a widows pension from the federal government. This is the topic of the latest episode of VA History in Focus. The video delves into the laws that regulated the granting of these pensions and the bureaucratic hoops women had to jump through to claim one. It also goes behind the scenes at the National Archives in Washington, D.C., to examine the pension application of Rebecca Cameron, one of the first women to receive a widow’s pension during the Civil War. Her husband, Col. James Cameron, died at the Battle of Bull Run in July 1861. The millions of records in the Archives’ collection of pension files hold great value to genealogists and historians, opening a window into the lives and experiences of ordinary people.

- The Wall That Heals is a touring wall replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., designed to travel to communities throughout the United States to bring a sense of healing to Vietnam Veterans and their families. The replica, along with a mobile education center, also aims to educate new generations on the war and those who made the ultimate sacrifice during it. The Wall That Heals arrived at Ridgeville, South Carolina, providing a chance for local Veterans and the community to remember their heroes enshrined on the Memorial.
