The wave of patriotism that swept over the country in the wake of terrorist attacks and war has resulted in a tide of Wisconsin laws aimed at helping veterans.
….”This current budget probably has the most major changes for veterans in Wisconsin since the GI Bill of 1946,” John Scocos, secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs, said in an interview this week as today’s Veterans Day observances neared.
For instance, he noted, the budget provided 50 percent tuition waivers at University of Wisconsin and technical colleges for veterans who entered service in Wisconsin and free tuition for spouses and children of vets who are killed or significantly disabled in action.
