Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares is applauding a decision from a regional office of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) recognizing that Lieutenant Colonel (Ret.) Paul Yoon, a decorated Army veteran who served nearly 24 years, is entitled to full G.I. Bill education benefits under both the Montgomery and Post-9/11 G.I. Bills. The decision came after Virginia led two bipartisan coalitions of every State in the Union to support Lieutenant Colonel Paul Yoon and his daughter.
“I was proud to have led the bipartisan coalitions of 52 attorneys general fighting to ensure Virginia Army veteran Lieutenant Colonel Paul Yoon received every benefit he earned while fighting for our country and our freedom,” said Attorney General Jason Miyares. “I know there are many other veterans like Lieutenant Colonel Yoon out there—and I implore the VA to honor their service by permanently granting them full benefits as well.”
