It’s a lot of the past mixed with much
of the present.But then again, that’s
what a museum is all about.What’s
interesting about this one, however, is the fact that it’s all about tracking
the health and wellness of our troops throughout the centuries.
From Civil War memorabilia to
innovations of modern day, the newly reopened National Museum of Health and
Medicineshows off an impressive
collection of 25 million artifacts.The
museum’s mission is to preserve and collect specimens of morbid anatomy and
medical technology.These tools and
artifacts will help researchers to understand the care of the soldier by
tracking the history of medicine.
There might be no better way to track
the progression of medicinal practices than through the history of the military
soldier.From illness to injury, service
members experience just about all of it, and researchers are learning new and
innovative ways to treat medical issues by using our history as a guide.
Plus they have the bullet that killed
Abraham Lincoln.
Technology is becoming more and more
integrated into all aspects of our lives.It should come as no surprise that new technological advancements might
change the way the military forces of the future look, act and even
operate.The Virtual Soldier program
uses computer simulations to design future combat systems for the war fighter.
