A lot of veterans attending college were doing so on what was called a Montgomery G.I. Bill. It basically gave the veterans a fixed rate according to their region to pay for school every month. Although it was a great opportunity many veterans were left behind after funds exhausted on their behalf. In 2008 President Obama signed a bill called the Post 9/11 Bill allowing veterans to return to campus by allowing more funds to be awarded to active duty members serving after Sept. 10 2001. This bill however takes care of the tuition, housing allowance, and book fees. This is definitely a step in the right direction for taking care of our service members. We can only hope that it is enough to repay the backbone of our country.
