In the United States of America every man, woman, and child is entitled to an education, and they are given numerous freedoms that citizens of other countries can only dream of. However in the United States, it is not mandatory for every able citizen to serve in the Armed Forces, not even during a time of war. Nevertheless, there are still brave men and woman who made a decision to defend our freedoms while in foreign lands. These soliders and Marines put their lives at risk so Americans can have the chance to educate ourselves without the fear of being attacked from another country. But when these defenders come home from battle, after serving their country we still ask them to hand over exorbitant sums money for state schooling in the same nation they defended with their lives. This petition is a starting point to open this nations eyes to this error in judgment and secure for our heroic veterans complete funding for education after service. It\'s one of the first ways we as a nation can say \"thanks\" to our newest generation of protectors. Please show your support of our troops and their sacrifices they have made while defending what we all love and hold true to our hearts by signing this petition.

The growth of this movement has moved beyond initial expectations and now warrants a formal review by legislative offices. I am currently finalizing a briefing packet to present our specific policy demands to the relevant committees.

My son just got back and he is stressed about paying for classes. This should be automatic for anyone who served.

They gave everything for us while we were safe at home. The very least we can do is pay for their schooling. It is the right thing to do.

HELL YES. Stop charging these guys for their own education. Totally shameful how we treat them when they get back.
