Nebraska veterans head count remains uncertain
Lincoln reports Nebraskans with military service lack an exact tally. Louis R. Eby, head of the Veterans Affairs Department since 1947, cites government estimates placing 178000 veterans in the state, with 115000 from World War II, 21000 from World War I, 41000 from Korea, and 1000 in an other category. The count equals 13.4 percent of Nebraska’s population. Eby notes no recent census has produced a precise figure and mentions a 1955 push to gather data on tax forms.
