It has been reported by the Department of Veteran Affairs that about "30% of eligible veterans are unable to use any of their education benefits and most eligible veterans are only able to access a portion of their GI Bill before the 10-year limit is reached."
Congress never passed legislation presented in 2007 by Maria Cantwell & Rick Larsen: Cantwell-Larsen Montgomery GI Bill for Life Act of 2007
Why the delay? Senator Maria Cantwell (D-WA) was quoted as saying, "When our service members leave the military, family obligations, work commitments and economic difficulties often get in the way."
Should veterans have a lost opportunity due to time limit on the Montgomery G.l. whereas educational reform is now being considered for illegal immigrants? Have America lost it patriotic spirit
