The GI Bill
Then and Now
When President Roosevelt sign the original GI Bill in 1944 he said, “It gives emphatic notice to the men and women in our armed forces that the American people do not intend to let them down.”
Tune in to find out how this one act of Congress changed America forever. Author Suzanne Mettler will be joining host Dale Throneberry to talk about her great story, Soldiers to Citizens-The GI Bill and the Making of the Greatest Generation.
Former Senator Bob Dole writes…”A must read not only for those interested in the Greatest Generation, but also for anyone who wants to know what it takes to make a great country. I can’t recommend enough Suzanne Mettler’s examination of the Bill and its transformative effect on the lives of so many veterans like me.”
So what are we going to do for today’s veterans? There is a new GI Bill 2008 that has already passed both houses of Congress, but the President has threatened to veto it.
Also joining us this week to talk about the new GI Bill is Colonel Robert F. Norton, (Ret.) Deputy Director, Government Relations from the Military Officers Association of America. Find out how much the new bill will cost, who’s eligible and will it really affect retention? This is a very important issue that will affect this new “Greatest Generation”.

willingness with which our young people are likely to
serve in any war, no matter how justified, shall be directly
proportional to how they perceive how veterans of earlier
wars were treated by their nation."…George Washington
