THE LATEST UPDATE

2/13/19

I received an email last week from the American Legion regarding the history of the G.I. Bill.  It was officially named the Servicemen’s Readjustment Act of 1944.  While Congress made several adjustments, the final version signed contained the original 10 key provisions: college education, vocational training, readjustment pay, home and business loans, discharge review, adequate hospitalization, prompt settlement of disability claims, mustering-out pay, employment services and concentration of all these provisions under the Veterans Administration.


Getting this bill to President Roosevelt’s desk for signature was not without a lot of high drama and anxiety.  The deciding vote was cast by Georgia Representative John Gibson.  However, Representative Gibson was at home in Georgia due to an illness.  He had to be convinced to take a high speed car ride and then a plane ride to Washington so he could cast the deciding vote.  His vote ensured the Servicemen’s Readjustment Act of 1944 passed and went to the President for his signature.  The rest, as they say, is history.


My points from this history lesson are multi-faceted and we face them every day.  1) Everything we hold of value comes at a price.   2) Never give up in what you believe in. 3) There are good people doing good things.  4) Everyone’s opinion matters.
 
Have a great week.

​CMSAF#5 Robert Gaylor TEDTalk: Motto for Life
​

Former Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force Robert D. Gaylor was adviser to Secretary of the Air Force John C. Stetson and Chiefs of Staff of the Air Force Gen. David C. Jones and Gen. Lew Allen Jr. on matters concerning welfare, effective utilization and progress of the enlisted members of the Air Force. He was the fifth chief master sergeant appointed to this ultimate non-commissioned officer position.  In 2006, the NCO academy at Lackland AFB was named the Robert D. Gaylor NCO Academy in his honor.
