For whatever reason, I had a hard time finding articles relating to my essay topic, The History of the Draft. Ultimately, I found the above-mentioned article and found it to be very informative with regard to The Servicemen’s Readjustment Act of 1944, also known as the GI Bill. This Bill was a benefit for all veterans in an effort to help them buy homes or farms, attend college or vocational school, pay living expenses while searching for employment, and ensure access to essential medical care or therapy to heal wounds or overcome disabilities. This was one of the most important—and popular—federal programs in American history. I intend to use this source to explore one of the few positive outcomes for serving in the military.

My second source was obtained through ProQuest. I feel confident about its credibility due to the fact that I searched the YC Library database, as suggested by our instructor. The article I found was written by Monica Davey who is the Chicago bureau chief of The New York Times. In my opinion, The New York Times is one of the most credible news sources in this country. This article was written on September 7, 2009, and is critical to my essay as it deals with the long-running debate of the military draft.
