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.
