    Many educational benefits exist to advance education and skills of veterans and service members. Spouses and dependents may also be eligible for education and training assistance as-a-matter of fact, over twenty percent of those advancing their knowledge by attending higher learning from Veteran Affairs education programs are non-veterans.

    Since the beginning of the Cold War in the late 1940’s, the United States has embraced a policy of global involvement to protect its national security interests.

With the end of the Cold War in 1991, the greatest threat to U.S national security to emerge was global terrorism. The United States suffered attacks in 1993 with the World Trade Center bombing and attacks overseas in Africa and in Yemen when the USS Cole was bombed in 2000.
