=** What is the G.I Bill **=

The G.I. Bill also known as the Servicemen’s Readjustment Act of 1944 was a bill that granted special benefits to returning Army soldiers more specifically, World War II veterans. Special benefits consisted of loans to buy homes or start small businesses, offer college or vocational education, and a year of unemployment compensation. = G.I Bill Podcast =

[] The original GIBIll gave the veterans options of a fully funded education and even a chance to buy a home. The Montgomery GIBIll has many restrictions that go along with having the ability to cover veterans.The podcast above is criticizing the Montgomery GIBill and the original GIBill. An interview with veterans from WWII shows the difference between both the bills and how the recent GIBILL stopped funding the way it used to. It shows the government taking away the funding and the veterans serving not able to have the education they wish to receive. Gerome Coldberg a chairman of the “Fund for Veteran Foundation” was interviewed on the help they are giving to these veterans.

The Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008 is Title V of the Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2008, and an Act Of Congress which became law on June 30, 2008. The act amended Part III of Title 38, United States Code to include a new Chapter 33, which expands the educational benefits for military veterans who have served since September 11, 2001.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">The G.I Bill affected African Americans by giving African Americans a way to access higher education. For example college.Though the Bill granted some access to colleges for African Americans, not all African Americans were benefited.Only a selected amount of African Americans were given the college degrees. Only 1/5 of the African Americans whom applied to the college were emitted due to the principals/dean. Majority of the deans during the beginning of the bill were segregationist, accepting mainly whites to their colleges. The Bill had also made life hard for the African Americans returning home from the war because of the discrimination they'd received from some whites.

Before World War Two only the sons and daughters of wealthy families could afford to go to college. Everybody else was only able to do a High School education. After the war, millions of women and man were able to have a free education, which was a present for serving the country. If that bill was not passed, those people would not have any education. The veterans who did not have enough money to buy houses still would not have been able to buy them if the G.I bill was not passed. It changed the economical growth and put people in a better financial and living position.
