CONTINGENCYOPERATING BASE SPEICHER, TIKRIT, Iraq -Do you remember coming to class, sitting at the desk with your name written on it, and listening to the teacher as she told you to take out your new school book' Do you remember the excitement of opening the book and turning the pages with eagerness to begin learning'

Soldiers of 325th Brigade Support Battalion, 3rd Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division, helped bring that excitement to Iraq as they packaged and prepared the first shipment of more than 600,000 "My Arabic Library" books to be delivered to Iraqi schools throughout the Salah ad-Din province, in a combined effort to introduce and establish better learning environments and library systems for Iraqi children, March 28.

"Giving children something that they can actually sit, read and hold gives them hope for their future. I think that giving the children of Iraq hope is an important focus for Coalition Forces due to the lack of hope that is prevalent in this area," said Sgt. Suzanne Sippel, a Provincial Reconstruction Team member with the 425th Civil Affairs Battalion.

"I have three children of my own and I know that there were influential people in their lives who made a significant impact on them-I know that their children will be the ones making the decisions for the United States, and the Iraqi children who will receive these supplies will eventually be the ones making the decisions for all of Iraq 25 years down the road," she added.

The distribution project started in April 2008, following an initiative from the government of Iraq and the U.S. State Department. Iraqi officials spotted the need to start library programs within the schools for Iraqi children to use.

Iraqi officials and the PRT calculated the number of schools that would receive the books. They ordered 560 sets for Salah ad-Din province, according to Capt. Miguel Benzor-Anaya, health service support officer, Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 325th Bde. Support Bn., 3rd Inf. Bde. Combat Team, 25th Inf. Div.

"An additional purpose for establishing a library system within the Iraqi schools is to identify those schools that have an interest in teaching the English language-this will also lead to starting a Pen Pal program with children of the United States and establish more awareness for the situation here in Iraq," he said.

In addition to the pen pal program and schoolbook delivery, the PRT is also working on an overall education initiative that includes building and refurbishing public libraries and creating schools of excellence.

Each set of books contain 12 boxes, which are grade specific and are color coordinated to make organizing and distributing the materials easier. One set of packaged books will cover an elementary school.

PRT members sought and attained the approval of the Iraqi Government through the Ministry of Education to begin ordering mass numbers of Scholastic books, after they saw the positive impact of providing Iraqi children the additional materials needed for their education. The orders for the books were placed in Dec. 2008 and now the shipments have arrived to be distributed, according to Sippel.

"If these children will remember the school supplies and other initiatives that we have provided, it will start a positive ripple effect --that by doing one thing for these children, whether it be providing a book, shoes or a pencil, that one thing could eventually be the action that makes a difference in the world," said Sippel.

A teacher training program to enhance Iraqi teachers' ability to instruct their students will be a part of the initiative to be established by combined efforts from Coalition Forces and the Iraqi Government, according to Sippel.

The Hazlewood Act is a State of Texas benefit that provides qualified Veterans, spouses, and dependent children with an education benefit of up to 150 hours of tuition exemption, including most fee charges, at public institutions of higher education in Texas. This does NOT include living expenses, books, or supply fees.

*Check with your school on application deadline policies. If you qualify for state education benefits earned through military service and your verification paperwork to the school is delayed, you may apply for up to a 60-day deferment of tuition and fees to avoid late charges and/or being dropped from classes by submitting a Deferment Request Form.

Eligible Veterans may assign or transfer unused hours of exemption eligibility to a child under certain conditions as drawn from the Hazlewood Act Statute and 40 Texas Administrative Code 461

Legacy recipients will receive an exemption for the number of degree certified hours reported by the institution for that term or semester. Maximum degree certified hours awarded to the Legacy recipient will be dependent upon the degree or certificate program in which the student is enrolled for that term or semester and shall be consistent with the program length as defined within the school catalog as approved by the regional accreditation commission. (40 TAC 461.30)

*If a child to whom hours have been delegated fails to use all of the assigned hours, a Veteran may re-assign the unused hours that are available to another child. Only one child will use Hazlewood Legacy benefits at a time.

Yes. However, you can only transfer unused hours to one eligible child at a time, you may not exceed 150 hours total, regardless of how you distribute the hours among multiple children.

No. There is no age limit for a child, spouse, or dependent who has their own Hazlewood hours. Each veteran family member may receive their own 150 tuition hours if the veteran is 100%, total and permanent, service-connected by the VA.

Be the spouse/dependent of an eligible veteran who is determined by the VA to be 100%, total and permanent, service-connected veteran or one who became totally disabled for purposes of employability as a result of a service-related injury or illness. The spouse/dependent(s) of an eligible veteran who meets the requirements below are entitled to receive a 150 credit hours exemption, each, under certain conditions as drawn from the Hazlewood Act Statute and Texas Administrative Code 461:
