Reinstate Military Tuition Assistance

In March 2013 the Department of Defense suspended tuition assistance programs for those serving our country in the Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, and Marines. These programs are designed to aid men and women in getting an education that will prepare them for careers both within and outside the military. These cuts will halt professional and personal growth for tens of thousands. In these trying times budget cuts are everywhere but to take away such a vital program from those who give so much is unacceptable. I urge you to join me in signing this petition to let the Department of Defense, Congress, and the President know that the American people will not tolerate cuts that harm the brave men and women who dedicate their lives to defending this nation.

Why is this important?

As a result of sequestration the Department of Defense has cut funding for programs that are critical to the personal and professional development of American service members. Thousands of men and women rely on tuition assistance to pay for their education while they serve. These budget cuts cannot be tolerated.
