The number of military veterans attending Syracuse University has more than tripled since 2006, thanks to the post-9/11 G.I. Bill and the university's efforts to recruit and retain veterans.

Anthony Keach grew up in Elmira following Syracuse University basketball, and always knew he would go to school there.

After four years in the U.S. Army, Keach finally enrolled this fall at SU -- one of a growing number of veterans who have resumed their educations using new federal programs.
