They didn't forget, Brianna -- Part II
[Continued from They didn't forget, Brianna] I still need time to study it more but the text of the Emergency Appropriations Bill is now available on the web (click here.) If someone else beats me to studying it closely I hope you'll let me know so I can post your email or link to your blog. Based on a quick reading, I think it's even better than I thought before. If I'm reading it correctly, it increases the "death gratuity" and maximum SGLI benefits for our KIAs to $100,000 and $400,000, respectively, for all active duty military deaths occurring on or after May 10, 2005, and for all Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom deaths occurring on or after October 7, 2001 and before May 10, 2005. That still misses some people I feel like should have been entitled to the increased benefits, but it's probably the best we can hope to do anytime soon.
