My husband is former Army and paid for part of his education with the GI Bill. I'm really happy that congress passed this, but I still think it should pay for education after their service is over, not just active duty.

My son is currently attending college on his GI Bill as well. He also participated in something when he was in the service so he receives a higher monthly payment. I agree with Tammy that vets should be taken care of more as well. He has medical through VA but it's awful if you go to the emergency room ....

Both my children and myself were able to use the Survivor and Dependents Educational Assistance Program another tuition benefit program. I used the program to get an MBA and my children used theirs towards undergraduate degrees. It certainly helped, especially with my kids tuition!

Cynthia,

Thanks to the US Army my son has received his Bachelors degree and is now working on his Masters.

Hi Tammy,
I know there are several different types of educational programs available to active duty as well as veterans. I agree that all need to be able to participate in these programs. Thanks.

Sally,
I keep hearing that the medical care for VA is substandard and that breaks my heart! These people that fought to protect us need the very best medical care available!

Cynthia My husband earned his BS on the GI Bill. We are pleased to have these benefits in effect for the military - anything we can do to support them for their service to us is a sign of gratitude, Karen

Hello Cindy,
I'm sure it did. Many people have benefited from the military education programs. I say let's keep it going.

Don,
I love hearing from all of you who have used these programs or have children who have! Good for your son. Thanks.

Hi Karen,
Yes, yes--I agree with you. Supporting our military in as many ways as possible is very important! Thank you.

Cynthia, I know part of your market is to Military Relocation and you sure keep on top of things for them. Great work and helpful to so many deserving families.
