DESCRIBING A VETERAN

 Numerous enlisted servicemen served as photographers on aircraft carriers during the Korean War. The duties of these photographers were to capture video or pictures of deck accidents, deck routines, such as planes landing and taking off and of aerial battles. Because everywhere on a flight deck lurks danger, photographers risked their lives on a daily basis. 

 OVERVIEW: 

 Students will watch a video of Duane Hoffman describing his time as a photographer during the Korean War and discuss the definition of a veteran.
