On Tuesday, March 25, 2008, News 12 interviewed
Veterans 4 Education members regarding their thoughts on veterans'
educational benefits. The members, Vincent Roettger, Efren Cazales,
and Melinda Cobian, described their experiences with the G.I. Bill
and the multiple problems they faced.
Their stories of having to take out college loans due to the
insufficient funding of the G.I. Bill are a reoccurring issue among
college veterans.
A universal solution given was an increase of benefits through the
21st Century G.I. Bill.
With the help of News 12, their stories, the growing concern of
inadequate G.I. Bill funding, and the importance of the "The Post
9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2007"will be brought to
the public's attention.
