One important sub-set of the disabledin film and on TV is the disabled

veteran.  I'm thinking in particular of the representation of the

disabled vet as he (she?) tries to adjust to "normal" life:  the

hand-less vet in BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES, Jon Voight's character in

COMING HOME, Tom Cruise's in BORN ON THE 4TH OF JULY, et al.
