To them it was as if we had returned different people, and it was difficult, if not impossible, for them to understand how this happened — making them suspicious of the training we received and the values we adopted. It is a shame, since many of modern-day problems stem from a lack of appreciation for the very values and principles taught in the Corps, fostering...

Mission Statement and Purpose Veterans for Constitution Restoration (VetsCoR) is a non-profit, non-partisan educational and grassroots activist organization. The primary area of concern to all VetsCoR members is that our national and local educational systems fall short in teaching students and all American citizens the history and underlying principles on which our Constitutional republic-based system of self-government was founded. VetsCoR members are also very concerned that the Federal government long ago over-stepped its limited authority as clearly specified in the United States Constitution, as well as the Founding Fathers' supporting letters, essays, and other public documents. "Every child in...
