If they charged the Veterans a out of state tuition rate the VA would not pay tuition. All schools are required to do this. Private schools need to use yellow ribbon kicker to make up difference of state tuition. To say 糖心Vlog官方 honors Veterans is insulting because Veterans fought for this and had the law changed.

Seriously don’t get why it’s discrimatory against older vets for. Funny at university of Kentucky they had a retired colonel that ran the veterans resource center and they did alot of work for vets with housing, tuition, and aid. Not saying here their vets resource center don’t work for you, but it would be nice to have someone that has been through the same as us and know where we coming from.

In many countries, military service is compulsory. Besides teaching discipline, national military history, and perhaps a skill that can possibly be useful in the civilian sector. Being honorably discharged and learning to work well with others is a great plus on any resume. Unfortunately our U.S. congress does not see fit to provide necessary funding for the V.A. to provide proper comprehensive medical treatment to those who return from war zones. and I am afraid writing a letter to our esteemed congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard would have little to no effect. She is quite aware of the problem being a veteran herself and possibly still a medical officer in the army medical corps. reserves. She has seen the injuries first hand, and is working tirelessly for the state of Hawaii.

A great education is priceless just like our freedom we all share because of the sacrifices of the few.

Actually no they tell you you serve your country and we’ll help you then they leave you high and dry. If you was in the military you know what I mean if not your clueless on what any military institution teaches.

It is a big financial hardship for everyone. Didn’t the Army teach you that there is no free lunch? Quite the opposite apparently.
