VIDEO:  Educating America's heroes
 
 
The educational benefits veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan receive cover only 60% to 70% of the average college tuition. Virginia's Sen. Webb has introduced a bill that, if passed, will provide post-9/11 veterans with full coverage for tuition as well as room and board.
