Whereas, each year, between 240,000 and 360,000 service members separate from military service; and

Whereas, there are seven United States Department of Veterans Affairs education programs for veterans and their survivors and dependents; and

Whereas, in fiscal year 2012, Arizona veterans were fourth in the usage of education programs; and

Whereas, in 2010, a survey of veterans showed that 41% to 59% of veterans have little to no understanding of the education benefits available to them.

      Therefore"
