Disabled Veteran Family Takes Education Benefits Fight to Court (opens the original)
Read excerpt
WASHINGTON (WSET) — Families with two veteran parents say their children are being denied thousands of dollars in education benefits they believe they earned through their parents’ military service. In March, ABC13's Pat Simon investigated that issue that affected two Virginia dual-disabled veteran spouses and their families. Now, a separate case involving different families is putting the legal question behind that issue before the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims. The court heard oral
The names we pass: Remembering Lynchburg-area service members lost after 9/11 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
LYNCHBURG, Va. (WSET) — The Blackwater Creek Trail is built for moving forward. Runners run it. Walkers stroll it. Bicyclists pedal past trees and markers without necessarily stopping to look. But along the paved trail are reminders of those who never came home.

Five and a half years into the American Revolution, the commonwealth was struggling to defend itself. Virginia had sent soldiers, ammunition and weapons elsewhere to fight the British. That left the state vulnerable. The British took advantage. They burned Richmond. Virginia lawmakers fled to Charlottesville. Then British Gen. Charles Cornwallis saw another opportunity: ca
The small Virginia house that helped shape America and the world (opens the original)
Read excerpt
STAUNTON, Va. (WSET) — As America celebrates its 250th birthday, one modest brick home in Virginia offers a reminder that history doesn’t always begin in grand places. On a quiet street in downtown Staunton sits a house that’s easy to overlook. It’s smaller than many of its neighbors, with no towering columns or sprawling grounds. Yet from this unassuming home emerged decisions that would influence world wars, America’s place on the global stage, and debates that continue more than a century lat
