Missouri Governor Matt Blunt delivered his State of the State Address last night - the full prepared text is here. If you hit Find "military", you'll see what caught my eye - another state committing to do more to help its veterans and transitioning servicemembers. The Governor asks to eliminate all state income taxes from military retirement benefits, and for $2.5 million toward funding for veterans' mental health and sheltering services. Transition is about a whole lot more than finding a career - that's our area of expertise, so my $.02 is that achieving a fulfilling career starts with a positive state of mind. From all levels of government and business to single volunteers, anyone who helps a veteran transition by bringing them to that state of of mind gets my deepest thanks and respect.

Gov. Blunt reinforced Missouri's commitment to taking care of military families by signing House Bill 1678 into law.
The bill establishes a grant/scholarship program for up to 25 spouses or children of Missouri veterans killed in action per year, where all tuition, books and housing are paid, up to the cost of a four-year education, at the University of Missouri.
