Officials Tout Post-9/11 GI Bill Benefits

Military News Veteran

As a recipient of  GI Bill benefits , I was fortunate enough to get a paid (mostly anyway) education courtesy of my Uncle Sam.  The GI Bill has changed several times since I separated, with the latest changes happening post 9/11.  One of the biggest (and best) changes is the ability to transfer your benefits to your dependents.  I wish I could do this now!  Read the full story at the defense.gov web site and as a veteran, you should visit the Department of Veterans Affairs site often.  Know your Veterans benefits.  It wasn’t until my sophomore year that my buddy told me he was attending Columbia University at no cost.  I kicked myself.
