Honor the heroic American veterans

Today, we honor the heroic Americans who served our country and recognize their unwavering sense of duty, dedication, and service to a cause greater than themselves. We all enjoy the freedoms that make the United States the envy of the world because of their commitment to serve each of us.

Vermonters have a long and proud history of service to our nation and to the cause of freedom and we will forever be in their debt.

$500,000 for college scholarships for veterans at UVM

I am proposing an annual increase of $1 million in base appropriations for both the University of Vermont and VSAC, to get more low and middle-income Vermonters the opportunities they need. I propose an additional $500,000 to fund scholarships for Vermont National Guard members to attend Vermont colleges and universities. This is one small way we can show our gratitude to the men and women who defend our freedoms. Source: 2017 Vermont State of the State address , Jan 25, 2017
