This bill is great in terms of making restorative payments on a debt that is owed to Black servicemen. I can see this bill passing the House, but I don't know if it will make it through the Senate.
It's ironic, the Republican Senators can always find money to send to Israel, but they refuse to pay owed money to Black Americans.

    And in this case black servicemen get they tout themselves as the pro armed force, pro cop, pro flag country, except when it comes to black servicemen.

    The benefits would be passed down to you and your siblings/cousins.
    Not a fair trade to me. All the things the military puts these warriors through, then turns its back on those who suffer & died for this racist ass country!

    Rest in peace to them. It's bad that they have passed, but if the bill passes then you will be entitled to your father's G.I. Bill benefits.
