The Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944 (G.I. Bill) has been acclaimed as one of the most influential pieces of legislation ever past. Interviews with seven World War II veterans, the first veterans eligible to receive this benefit, are the essence of this book. Participants talk about their pre-war families, military experience, post-war life, and the influences the education provision of the G.I. Bill had on their live-course.
