Going Back to School? Tell Us Your Story
Posted by Paul Rieckhoff on September 9

From anthropology majors to zoology minors, if you have a GI Bill story, we want to hear it.

If you're an Iraq veteran working toward your undergrad degree, the proud mother of an Afghanistan veteran attending law school, or if you went to college on the original GI Bill after World War II, you're a part of history. And you've got a story to tell.

IAVA Member Vets Don Gomez and Brian Laguardia are just two out of the thousands of veterans heading back to school this year on the new GI Bill.

Click here to watch a quick clip they recorded just for IAVA Supporters, and find out how you can submit your story.

What are you waiting for? Tell us your GI Bill story. Here's how:

1. Go to Youtube.com

2. Upload your GI Bill story

3. Tag it with "newgibill"

Over the next few weeks, we'll post the best stories on the blog at IAVA's new GI Bill one-stop-shop, www.NewGIBill.org. We'll choose five random videos to win a new Palm Pre smartphone, with 6 months of free, unlimited service.

While you're at www.NewGIBill.org, don't forget to try our benefits calculator.

We're really looking forward to hearing your story.
