TITLE IV--VETERANS EDUCATIONAL ASSISTANCE SEC. 4001. SHORT TITLE. This title may be cited as the ``Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008''. SEC. 4002. FINDINGS. Congress makes the following findings: (1) On September 11, 2001, terrorists attacked the United States, and the brave members of the Armed Forces of the United States were called to the defense of the Nation. (2) Service on active duty in the Armed Forces has been especially arduous for the members of the Armed Forces since September 11, 2001. (3) The United States has a proud history of offering educational assistance to millions of veterans, as demonstrated by the many ``G.I. Bills'' enacted since World War II. Educational assistance for veterans helps reduce the costs of war, assist veterans in readjusting to civilian life after wartime service, and boost the United States economy, and has a positive effect on recruitment for the Armed Forces. (4) The current educational assistance program for veterans is outmoded and designed for peacetime service in the Armed Forces. (5) The people of the United States greatly value military service and recognize the difficult challenges involved in readjusting to civilian life after wartime service in the Armed Forces. (6) It is in the national interest for the United States to provide veterans who serve on active duty in the Armed Forces after September 11, 2001, with enhanced educational assistance benefits that are worthy of such service and are commensurate with the educational assistance benefits provided by a grateful Nation to veterans of World War II.
