Department of Defense. Department of the Army. Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations. U.S. Army Audiovisual Center. (ca. 1974 - 05/15/1984). For this pictorial report, three subjects are covered by Signal corps cameramen in Washington, D.C., the Panama Canal Zone, and North Hempstead, Long Island. The first, "United States Soldiers' Home," takes place not far from the busy center of our nation's capital -- in a quiet and pleasant suburb. Here, many men who have served faithfully in the Army or Air Force, are spending their days of retirement. THE BIG PICTURE camera looks at the Soldiers' Home through the eyes of one of its residents, First Sergeant George Burns. From Washington, the television camera swings South to the Panama Canal Zone to see young soldiers in training. They are officers from Latin American countries who are attending a U.S. Army School. The final subject is one of utmost importance to each and every citizen. It is a civil defense story that takes place on Long Island. As
