H.R. 1214- A sincere means to better educational benefits. by Milan Sundaresan, Jun 16, 2008 (12:49pm)
A bill focused on improving benefits for Veterans and their families, H.R. 1214’s educational scheme emanates an altruistic note. Opposition seems to come from associations such as the Military Officers Association of America who although support the intention of the bill, are concerned that its benefits to the dependents are not proportional to the veterans’benefits themselves.
