War Veterans from Stockton University at the School's Archives

Professor David Roessel with a group of about 20 students, all war veterans, from Stockton University visited the School's Archives on March 15th. David's class reads the Iliad and Odyssey along with Achilles in Vietnam by Jonathan Shay, and other books that relate the poems to the experience of combat.
