SRES 745 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A resolution expressing support for and celebrating the 80th anniversary of the Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944, commonly known as the "G.I. Bill".

This resolution (SRES 745) is a purely commemorative Senate measure celebrating the 80th anniversary of the G.I. Bill (Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944), signed by President Roosevelt on June 22, 2024. It honors the historical impact of the G.I. Bill, which provided WWII veterans with education benefits (enabling 7.8 million to pursue college or training) and home loan guarantees (supporting over 28 million home purchases). The resolution does not create new policy or affect current beneficiaries - it simply recognizes the Act’s role in expanding educational access, boosting homeownership, and strengthening the post-war U.S. economy. It serves as a symbolic acknowledgment of the G.I. Bill’s legacy, not a legislative change.
