Colin Powell urges Congress to expand GI Bill
Colin Powell, speaking at the City College of New York in Harlem yesterday, urged Congress to expand the GI Bill, saying vets returning from Iraq and Afghanistan deserve the same chance to get an education that their grandparents did after returning from World War II.
President Bush signed a new GI Bill on Monday aimed at providing the full cost for college or job training for those who served after Sept. 11, 2001.
