This article reports on the author's clinical observations of certain religious and spiritual interests of one hundred and twenty-five veteran patients at a small VA hospital. Definitions of both spirituality and religiosity are presented to indicate that they are not the same phenomenon. A list of questions routinely used by the author in doing an assessment of a patient's religiosity and spirituality is provided. Impressions of the veteran patients' religious and/or spiritual needs and concerns are summarized. Suggestions for future research are outlined.
