Veteran Affairs

48 Month GI Bill Benefits

The Department of Veterans Affairs recently updated the process for awarding GI Bill benefits.

More Information

This change means that many Veterans who served multiple periods of military service will now be eligible for up to an additional 12 months of education benefits.

Under the prior rules, eligible Veterans who served at least two periods of service were limited to a maximum total of 36 months of GI Bill benefits. That has been changed and now eligible Veterans can qualify for up to 48 months of total GI Bill benefits.

The Veterans Administration is launching a targeted outreach campaign to notify Veterans of this new benefit.

The Navy SEAL Museum’s K9 Project

The Navy SEAL Museum’s K9 Project is one of four charitable outreaches of the Museum’s Trident House Charities Program. A 501(c)3 organization, the Museum’s K9 Project serves the warriors of the Special Operations community and their families.

More Information

Partnering with Baden K-9 in Ontario, Canada, with the generous support of dedicated donors, the Navy SEAL Museum has donated multiple working dogs to deserving veterans of the Special Operations community. This unique program creates an effective platform to help veterans assimilate back into civilian life by facilitating a special relationship between warrior and dog. The bond between elite operator and elite canine provides the connection and fellowship many veterans often find lacking when transitioning back into civilian life. Many of our warriors have expressed they often feel structure missing or their purpose is lost after leaving years of training and combat behind.

The Navy SEAL Museum’s K9 Project is unique because it seeks to serve active duty and veterans from varied backgrounds with very different needs. Working with Baden K-9 in Ontario, the K9 Project places service dogs with individuals with diverse needs. The recipient may have physical mobility limitations, or may suffer from the invisible wounds of war, like traumatic brain injury (TBI) or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The K9 Project radically improves their quality of life–physically, mentally, and emotionally–by introducing an unconditionally loving, working companion to begin or advance the healing process.

Once a veteran in need is identified, Baden K9 works closely with the Museum and a match is made with the appropriate canine. The veteran and his family are given a high level of training over several days and weeks to initially embed the dog into the home. This helps to create a foundational bond between the new handler and canine, but also curates the beginning of a long-lasting relationship between veteran and other military operators–active and retired–who also support the process.

However, the program does not stop once the canine enters the home; the veteran is provided lifelong support and ongoing training, or “sharpening”, of this unique bond. Baden and Museum both recognize that as time wears on, the needs of the veterans and their families change; Baden and the K9 Project remain engaged with each recipient to walk alongside him as part of this evolution, offering the ongoing support and training required to meet developing needs. Our commitment to our recipients never ends.

The K9 Project seeks to strengthen the community by providing dogs who bridge the gap between service to country and civilian life that follows. These service dogs administer hope, healing, connection, and purpose, often where other assistance has not. The K9 Project and Baden K-9 are committed to providing dogs that guide warriors through the darkness of daily combat–even after they have left service.

We are a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization. Your support is greatly needed, deeply appreciated, and makes a difference in the lives of many. To make a contribution, please visit our Support Page.
