I think this new bill is gonna make a big difference for our Guard and Reserve folks. They deserve the same benefits as active duty members, so it's great to see this happening. I heard that this bill will help with education and healthcare for these service members, which is awesome. I'm glad to see our government taking care of those who serve our country. This bill will benefit a lot of people who have sacrificed so much for us.
