ACTION ALERT: CONTACT CONGRESS TO REINSTATE TUITION ASSISTANCE
Take action and show your support for S. Amdt. 72
March 18, 2013
The
VFW needs you to immediately contact your members of Congress to urge their
support of S.Amdt. 72 to HR 933, a bipartisan amendment to reinstate
military Tuition Assistance (TA).
Here’s
why:
Because, when budget sequestration took effect
earlier this month, military branches
quickly suspended enrollment in their TA programs leaving countless service
members wondering what to do next.
Cutting
the TA programs forces service members to reach into their own pockets, tap
into their earned veterans’ benefits, or seek civilian financial aid in order
to satisfy personal and professional development that the military demands for
advancement.
Senators
James Inhofe and Kay Hagan have introduced the amendment (S.Amdt. 72) to the
Continuing Resolution (H.R. 933) that would reinstate the military Tuition
Assistance program. The amendment is scheduled for consideration on the Senate
floor VERY SOON.
The
VFW adamantly believes that Tuition Assistance is a critical military
professional development tool that also enhances quality of life.
Tell
your members of Congress to support S. Amdt. 72 to reinstate military Tuition
Assistance today!
