He didn’t use his GI bill.
We have two children. As a widow and single mother being able to access his GI benefit would be life changing for us.
As his death is not currently service connected, he died from Pancreatic cancer related to contamination at K2 Uzbekistan, we can not receive VA benefits. The VA is now investigating illness and death related to K2 service but as of May 2020 no presumptive death agreement has been issued.
We fall through the cracks. My husbands 20 year service and ultimate sacrifice is now just history, his military legacy can not be passed to his children.

Serveved 4 years of my life deployed for the fight and gave 20 years of service to my country. I retired in 2008 and cannot get the Post "9/11" GI bill, but some one who has never even deployed, can.

]]> Fri, 19 Jun 2015 12:05:10 UTC 18985061 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/18977995?utm_medium=rss I think this is an absolute problem solver. The soldier who served their full 20 years should be able to use their G.I. Bill or transfer it the way they want to. If not the government just took their money for nothing. Are they going to reimburse the soldier's money? If not, they should give back what they took from them for 12 months. How is the military going to keep money from the soldier and the family members. If money was owed to them they would collect. So they owe the soldiers. GIVE IT BACK. i DON'T THINK IT IS FAIR.
