| | Last year I was a graduate stdeunt Veteran at a Bournemouth University in the UK. I was thrilled at the support the VA gave to the University that had never had a USA Veteran attend under the 9/11 GI Bill. Having served many tours overseas with the Army, adjusting to an overseas environement and cultural was easy. Some of my fellow stdeunts were from war torn countries were I had served as a Soldier. It was an opportunity to open up dialouge in an academic environement. I am looking forward to now pursuing my PhD, which would not have been possible without VA. Whatever the state of the media, veterans are going to college, pursuing higher education and bringing a wide skillset to the employeers. Hopefully other Universities will seek out Veteran stdeunts to attend and Veterans will take advantage of their educational benefits. |
