Democrats for veterans

In a very rare reversal of opinion, the Republican administration withdrew its long-held objections to a new GI Bill that would fully fund the cost of a public college education for Iraq and Afghanistan veterans.

The bill, pushed by Democrats, includes the entire World War II-style GI Bill that IAVA has been championing for over a year. The final bill will also allow service members who stay in the military to transfer their education benefits to their spouses and children.

This is another great step toward providing our veterans with the benefits they have earned.
