What's Your GI Bill Story?
Seventy-five years ago, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the GI Bill into law, changing the lives of generations of American Veterans and their families. Since 1944, an estimated 25 million American Veterans have used the GI Bill to pay for education, buy a home, and pursue vocational training.
We want to know YOUR GI Bill story!
As we celebrate this historic anniversary and recognize the important impact the GI Bill continues to have in Veterans' lives, we also want to HEAR FROM YOU! Create and share your personal video of how the GI Bill helped you get an education, buy a house, or impacted your life. Videos will be posted daily to VA's 75th Anniversary webpage.
It's easy to provide a video. Just visit https://fs9.formsite.com/gibill75th/fizrlbbyvo/index.html and follow the simple instructions. We'll be featuring stories through June 22, 2019 as VA celebrates this important milestone.
Sincerely,
Veterans Benefits Administration
