Army Reserve helps honor veterans in Boston
Col. John Wildermann (left), congressional legislative liaison for the U.S. Army Reserve’s 99th Readiness Division, greets 90-year-old Korean War Veterans Walter Larkin during Boston Veterans Day Parade Nov. 4. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the U.S. military’s All-Volunteer Force, which represented a paradigm shift for the military – instead of drafting young Americans to fill the ranks of the armed forces, the military began depending exclusively on volunteers, as it still does today.
