Kleeb Statement on GI Bill

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
May 22, 2008

US Senate Candidate Scott Kleeb statement on 21st Century GI Bill:

Today the US Senate passed the “Post 9/11 Veterans Education Assistance Program,” more commonly referred to as the “21st Century GI Bill.” The measure has attracted broad bipartisan support in Congress but is opposed by President Bush and Republican Presidential candidate John
McCain.

Nebraska Senate candidate Scott Kleeb released the following statement in support of the bill:

“When we send our soldiers into harms way, we arm them to the hilt, with the latest weaponry and technology. As these brave men and women return home we must continue our commitment to arm them - with the education and training they need to succeed in the 21st Century economy. It is estimated that the return on every dollar spent on the GI Bill after World War II was $7 back into our economy. Investing in the future of this generation of Veterans will do the same. Far more than
sound economic policy though, it is our patriotic duty to honor the service of these brave Americans as they re-enter civilian life.”
