They would probably result to sending out a mass mailing to the Veterans address on record like they did for the new GI BILL but again, I think the struggle would be how to inform everyone that is touched by the change.Response by SGT Ben Keen made Apr 15 at 2014 2:40 PM2014-04-15T14:40:31-04:002014-04-15T14:40:31-04:002014-04-15T14:36:23-04:00
