Compare and contrast the experiences of colonial and U.S. soldiers (including your ancestors) from the War of Independence in the 18th century through the early 20th century.

You are a freelance reporter who has been hired by the Military Times to write a comprehensive essay about the experiences of soldiers from the Revolutionary War through World War I that will be published on November 11 (Veterans Day).

Discussion of World War I should be primary as Veterans Day is related to this war. You were hired for this assignment because the Military Times discovered that you are the descendant of professional soldiers, all of whom wrote about their experiences.

The Military Times wants an academic article that addresses the unique experiences of colonial and U.S. soldiers (including your ancestors) from the Revolution through World War I, as well as an article that identifies the changes and innovations that occurred in the military during this time. Address what the military’s role was when the nation was not officially at war.

The project is to be treated as an article that will appear in the Military Times. You should address the following concepts listed below.
