Veteran's Rights: Change

     Veteran's were never really regarded as struggling victims, they were looked upon as war heroes justice personnel. But after WWI was over, the struggle for justice abruptly began manifesting itself until soon after the GI Bill got passed. The GI Bill will be shortly explained in the following.
     After WWI most Veterans had no were to go, most of them were young and had no were to live or a college education that could land them a good job. So the House of Representatives proposed the GI Bill, this gave soldiers returning from war, especially the younger ones, the rights to home loans, money for college and other expenses they faced upon arriving to the US. The GI Bill was officially passed June 22, 1944, so that soldiers returning from WWII could experience its benefits.
     The following briefly described the long history that is the GI Bill and how it has helped all Veterens returning from devastating war trauma.
