I think our veterans are entitled to more than a simple thanks, and paying for 3 semesters of college.

Its a difficult question at best.  As a veteran myself, it would be easy to say that I should get such-and-such because of the sacrifices that I have made on behalf of my country.  Somebody has to pay for these benefits, however, and when John  Citizen has to file taxes he's bound to think more about himself than G.I. Joe.\n\nAs a wishlist I would have to say that a guaranteed education would be #1.  The way the system works right now it turns out to be more like financial aid than a free education.  $1100 a month (GI Bill) barely pays for tuition and books, let alone living expenses.  And, in the end, having a better educated populace is better for the entire nation.\n\nI also think that a small tax break for those that have served honorably would be worthwhile.  There are already any number of tax breaks for specific groups that may or may not be rational, but I would imagine that most would be hard-pressed to argue that those that serve aren't entitled to a break (especially if they have served in a conflict).

Ask colleges for a full tuition scholarship.

I am glad to be graduated

Those privileges would be nice but I don't see it as a big deal. The prices there are not significantly lower than elsewhere to make it worth much. I agree with the above commenter that health care and education are much more important. I would like to see better health care options for veterans.

they should give more to the deserved ones

It is given more than I've taken.  You couldn't believe the sense of pride, accomplishment and experience you get in the military.  Use the opportuninty to do what you think you need to do and don't look back.  ANY contribution is serving this country well. God Bless America!

i totally agree with you,i think teachers and the military dont get the pay they deserve, theres a reason those athletes can play their sports for a living in our free country and im pretty sure that goes back to thanking the military for risking their lives, and the teachers who taught that athlete how to write their signature.

See what you think of this...\n\nDear Sir/Madam:\n\n\nI recently was awarded one of two scholarships from your organization at my high school, Atlantic Community, at the Senior Awards Ceremony on May 17, 2006.  I cannot express in words how proud being the recipient of this scholarship makes me.\n\nI would like to thank you for finding me deserving of this honor.  With my family’s recent financial difficulties, being the recipient of your scholarship has removed a significant financial burden from my shoulders, which should allow me to focus all of my attention to my studies and achieving my goals as a college student.  For this I am eternally grateful.\n\nIt is my intention to work hard throughout college to prove that I am deserving of this honor and look forward to the day that I can invite you to my College Graduation as an expression of my gratitude.\n\nRespectfully,\n\n\nXXX

I think that vets should get a lot more than they do. I do not understand why a politicians should get better benefits than every other hard working person in this country. There is a definite imbalance in this country, and the government does not seem to be doing a good job in taking care of our soldiers now and it doesn't look like that will change any time soon

it's called student loans.

I agree with you for the service that past and present men and women of the Armed Service has done for America. Everytime I see a man or woman in uniform, I thank them for the service they do for the United States of America.

I want to also thank the fallen vets, the living ones, and their families....for the support.

The GI bill is used for education.  I am receiving this benefit as a veteran.  I go to college and at the end of every month I attend I have to certify that I attended school the previous month.  You need to look into a VA loan, not the GI bill.  He uses that when he's home and going to school.

I just enrolled in the print version of the Business course there, and so far things seem to be going well. I was VERY cautious before enrolling because I didn't want to end up with a degree that wasn't worth anything. I'm still researching how respected their degrees are, but on a positive note, they are accepted by VA (Veteran's Administration) for educational benefits under the Montgomery G.I. Bill so they can't be too bad or else they wouldn't approve them.

Yes, I feel that only people that served in the Military should get the day off. It was passed as appreciation of veterans anyway.
