Please contact your Congressman and Senators regarding the Montgomery GI Bill 10 year time limits. Almost 70% of these funds are never used, now with the stimulus program signed by Obama the Vets were forgotten. These funds could have been reactivated, enabling Vets to retrain and hone their skills to find work. A bill in 2007 attempting to do so never got to a vote. Please push your Congressmen and Senators to relook at this Bill "Montgomery GI Bill for Life Act of 2007 (Introduced in Senate) S 1261, 110th CONGRESS"
