Eighty-eight years ago thousands of U.S. military veterans gathered their belongings and began a long march across the country to Washington, D.C. Once there, they pitched their canvas tents in neatly ordered rows and dug in for a long fight.

If you’re an active-duty member of the military with some spare time for education or a recently-transitioned vet, chances are you’re looking to spend that sweet Post-9/11 GI Bill money you’ve been hearing about your entire career. As one of the best benefits offered to service members, the bill gives eligible troops up to 36 months of education benefits and covers a range of things, including tuition fees, housing, books, and supplies.
