The new GI Bill went into effect this month, and President Obama marked that milestone last week when he addressed about 350 military veterans and advocates on the campus of George Mason University.
“It’s driven by the same simple logic that drove the first GI Bill,” Obama said of the legislation, passed by Congress last year and expected to help a quarter-million veterans pay for school by 2011. “You pick the school; we’ll help pick up the bill.”
