The Military Officers Association of America honored Sen. Jim Webb, D-Va., this week with its highest award for his consistent support of service members and their families.
A Vietnam veteran and Marine, Webb introduced the Post-9/11 GI Bill on Jan. 3, 2007, his first day in office.
The legislation was signed into law last summer, providing educational benefits — similar to those given to World War II vets — to veterans of the post-9/11 era.
It was for his advocacy that the MOAA presented Webb its highest honor at a ceremony in Washington Tuesday — the 2009 Col. Arthur T. Matrix Congressional Leadership Award, named for the group’s founder.
