May celebrates Military Appreciation Month.

In June 1944, President Franklin Roosevelt signed the G.I. Bill into law, giving veterans government aid to obtain vocational or college education and receive low-interest business loans and mortgages.

Racial discrimination by local officials excluded many Black veterans from receiving these benefits. Newer programs have allowed veterans of Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, and other wars to pursue college educations and receive housing assistance. Homeownership is one of the keys to building family wealth.
