Going Back to Civilian Life

Published in August 1945 by the War and Navy Departments, this 89-page pamphlet was issued to every individual separated from active service in the U.S.

Armed Forces after World War II. It provides practical guidance on readjusting to civilian life, including sections on returning home, job seeking, protecting benefits, understanding the G.I.

Bill of Rights, and additional veteran resources.

The booklet was designed to help millions of veterans navigate the challenges of reintegration and to inform them of their rights and benefits under the law.
