For over 10 years the VFW has been lobbying to improve the GI Bill with benefits updates for the men and women who serve in our armed forces, and their families. On June 30, 2008 the new GI Bill was signed into law. Similarly, it was the VFW whose efforts put forth the first GI Bill in 1944.

Thanks to the dedication of the VFW and to the members of Congress who made this a reality.
