Veterans Rights!!!!!!

  Veteran is that person who risked his or her life in honor for their country. Military veterans are mostly known for those who fought in combats for their entire career. Military veterans often receive special treatment in their respective countries due to the sacrifices they made during wars.  Different countries handle this differently, some openly support veterans through government programs and others ignoring them.  This affected many of the soldiers' life. Some soldiers had no benefits and after risking their lifes for many years they were left in the Limbo. Completely ruined!!!!!!

 Life of the Veterans was not exactly the greatest. Sometimes they found it difficult to make living through years like the event of The Great Depression. The Bonus Act was passed by the Congress to help those veterans who faced hard times. The law provided a bonus based on the number of days served. But sometimes for a whole year they woud not receive eveb a dime. To demand full payment of their bonuses, veterans made groups and marched in form of protest in 1932. From 1944 to 1952, VA backed nearly 2.4 million home loans for World War II veterans. In 1984 The GI Bill established VA home loan guaranty and education programs continue to work for our newest generation of combat veterans.  In 2008, the GI BIll was updated once again. The new law gives veterans with active duty service on, or after, Sept. 11 2001, enhanced educational benefits that cover more educational expenses, provide a living allowance, money for books and the ability to transfer unused educational benefits to spouses or children.

 According to data from the 2000 U.S. census, about 26.4 million civilians, or 12.7 percent of the civilian population, consisted of veterans of the armed forces. This number includes those who served on active duty for the duration of their military careers and those who served for only a short time on active duty. Today many people are thinking of going to war not only to serve their country like in the past or because they are force to, but to receive the benefits that veterans gained after so many years of  protest.

Veterans Day!!!! They deserve our respect.
