The Reserve Officers Association (ROA), America’s only exclusive advocate for the Reserve and National Guard, sent a letter to Senator Alexander calling for freedom of choice among veterans on the GI Bill® and other earned veteran education benefits. In the letter, ROA's executive director and retired U.S. Army Major General, Jeffrey E. Phillips, writes: The argument that it’s the government’s responsibility to ensure “its” money is being used correctly by a GI Bill beneficiary is tricky business: once earned, it’s no longer Uncle Sam’s, just as a federal government employee’s or a military retiree’s or a VA benefit beneficiary’s compensation is not the government’s: it’s the beneficiary’s to use freely within the law. And any school that has earned state approving agency approval has earned “legal” status. The full letter is inserted below.
