On June 22, 1944, U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed
the G.I. Bill, an unprecedented act of legislation designed to
compensate returning members of the armed services—known
as G.I.s—for their efforts in World War II.

As the last of its sweeping New Deal reforms, Roosevelt’s
administration created the G.I. Bill (officially the Servicemen’s Readjustment Act of 1944) hoping to avoid a relapse into the
Great Depression after the war ended.

Over 50 years, the impact of the G.I. Bill was enormous, with
20 million veterans and dependents using the education
benefits and 14 million home loans guaranteed, for a total
federal investment of $67 billion.

During World War II, the U.S. 10th Army overcame the last major
pockets of Japanese resistance on Okinawa Island, ending one
of the bloodiest battles of World War II.

Released on June 21, 1965, the Byrds’ debut album, Mr.
Tambourine Man, marked the beginning of the folk-rock
revolution.

In just a few months, the Byrds had become a household
name, with a number-one single and a smash-hit album
that married the ringing guitars and backbeat of the British
Invasion with the harmonies and lyrical depth of folk to
create an entirely new sound.
