"GI" stands for "Government Issue," meaning items provided by the U.S. military.

By the end of WWII, this term had become a familiar way of describing members of the U.S. armed forces. The GI Bill, signed into law by Franklin Roosevelt in 1944, provided federal monies to help the veterans returning from the war to take up lives that had been interrupted by the war. One of the provisions of the GI Bill was to help veterans pay for a college education.

This resulted in the largest ever increase in college students in the history of higher education. It meant that many people who normally would never have gone to college, now seized the opportunity. Suddenly a college education was no longer the privilege of those who could afford it, but became a goal that anyone could attain, no matter their age or financial background.
