Summary: Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans urge Sen. John Cornyn to support a bill that would fund their education.
Script of "Cornyn On The GI Bill" (TV)
LUKE GOODRICH: When our grandparents came back from World War II, the GI bill paid for their education.
(Text on screen: Iraq War Veteran)
ALEX CORNELL DU HOUX: But in today’s economy the old bill doesn’t do enough.
(Text on screen: Iraq War Veteran)
PETER O’BRIEN: There is a new bill that would give today’s veterans what we need.
(Text on screen: Iraq and Afghanistan War Veteran)
LUKE GOODRICH: But Senator Cornyn hasn’t supported that bill. Does Cornyn think covering a fraction of our education is enough?
BRIAN MCGOUGH: We didn’t give a fraction in Iraq; we gave 100 percent.
(Text on screen: Iraq and Afghanistan War Veteran)
LUKE GOODRICH: It’s time for some straight talk. Call Sen. Cornyn, and ask him to support our troops.
