Change...GI Bill

The big change for veterans was the GI bill. The GI bill was a bill done after WWII that helped veterans get into college or into school or other educational services.On June 22, 1944, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed into law the Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944, commonly known as the G.I. Bill of Rights. By the time the original G.I. Bill ended in July 1956, 7.8 million World War II veterans had participated in an education or training program and 2.4 million veterans had home loans backed by the Veterans' Administration.

 Today, the legacy of the original G.I. Bill lives on in the Montgomery G.I. Bill.benefits may be used up to 10 years from the date of last discharge or release from active duty. The 10-year period can be extended by the amount of time a service member was prevented from training during that period because of a disability or because he/she was held by a foreign government or power.

This bill made lives for veterans easier. They could get quickly into a school, college or jobs. Also for their family it made stuff easier. their benefits would be more if they got any disableties, or sickness in war.

New Amendment

 I want changes for the veterans. They should be benefited for what they did for the country. They worked for all of us and most of them gave their lives for us in battle. They feel like that they did their job for nothing, they never got repaid back. They only got recognized with a medal and a ceremony. In the ceremony for the war in Vietnam they gave them all medals, they said that they received a medal for murder.

I propose a new amendment for veterans granting them benefits for them and for their families. Veterans shouldn't pay for taxes for all they done in the war. Many people also do think they should be benefited. They should receive a benefiter plan that they should receive monthly. If the veteran that is receiving the plan is disabled is percentage of the amount is given should be increased.

I think that this proposal is a great idea to help those veterans that served for us in the armed forces. They would feel like they have been thanked for what they did.

Veterans fighting back...

In this video it shows how the veterans are fighting for those benefits that hey never got.They feel that they fought for nothing, they did many things for the US, but got nothing back from the government. They decided to go on a campaign around US with different stops and people signed a paper to who was with the veterans on getting benefits. The people on the tour bus going around on the campaign were veterans from different places.

Many veterans were against the Vietnam war. Soldiers deserted the area. Many other soldiers say that the morality of the war changed while they were fighting. They say that it wasn't really a war it was called murder. Soldiers want to go back to Vietnam to "rebuild the country they tore apart" they say the war was abusive. I asked my grandfather and he has a very strong character and he told me that while he was a Vietnam he felt sorry  when he saw burning house and practically everything was destroyed.

Mistreating of the US Veterans...

Veterans aren't mostly mistreated.They are one of the people many people look up to! At the end of the Viet Nam war just as the Iraq war is becoming now it had become a very unpopular war. The media in its exceedingly sensational way portrayed viet nam vets as murderers , baby killers if you will. The public bought into the reports and veterans in general became second class citizens. Men who were emotionally and physically scarred for life from their time spent there had no safe haven from persecution and developed mental issues with depression and post traumatic stress. Getting and keeping jobs was difficult and the government had not yet recognized these mental issues as valid. Many veterans became homeless because of this and just fell between the cracks, no help from the VA and even less from society in general. 

Thousands of us Gulf war veterans suffer from ailments unrecognized by the federal government so no steps are taken to care for them.The United States alone deployed 697,000 men and women to the Middle East during the First Gulf War. As many as one in 10 of these individuals had reported symptoms by the mid 1990s. Some of the symptoms have also expanded to the families of these soldiers, many of whom brought back mementos from Iraq which may have been contaminated, in addition to their soiled gear.

Veterans feel mistreated by the goverement be cause they were never helped for these sicknesses and symptoms they got.I dont think they have been discriminated socially becuse many people do respect them.These things arent metioned in the bill of rights but the goverment should do something about it.

Veterans Right

Veterans started when WWI ended. Army was formed in 1775. I think the veterans group will be there always bcause they are so important, they even made a day to represent these men and women who fought for their country. There are many types of groups of veterans. There are veterans for the wars, being disabled, prisoners in war, and black veterans.

The veterans have been around since the army. The veterans group is very strong because many people respect them for all of what they did to protect their country. Many people have family members in the veteran group. I dont think nobody dosent like this group which is aother reason they are strong group. They did a big thing that normall today some people dont want to do, which is to serve the country.
This group will continue because other generations follow the same footprints of other veterans. My grandfather s a veteran and I am very proud of him and feel lucky to have a vetern in my family. In 2009 the census recorded that there was 21.9 million veterans in the US 1.5 million veterans were females.

Keven- http://keven0733.blogspot.com/2011/03/whites-took-control-over-indians-lands.html
He talks about the whites taking lands away from the nativee americans. Whites making indians signing deals with the whites. How he said that the whites promised many things to indians but the whites didnt keep there promise.

Raymond- http://raymondzapata01.blogspot.com/
He told how the indians lived in the reservations. He says how the native amercians live before the whites moved them to reservations. He also talks when the whites took theem to the reservations how theey reacted.

Gabriela A- http://gabalejandra.blogspot.com/
She explains the battle at bighorn. She also explains how the goverment worked and how it treated the indians. She also explains the indians culture like the Ghost Dance.

Paulette- http://www.imagineaheartshapedbox.blogspot.com/
Shee explains what happened when the indians went through assimilation. She gives an example of Charles in the movie, when he had to go through the assimilation process. I agree with her saying that the whites used violence to get their way.
