Chris Ott, right, helps her son, former Marine John Thomas Doody. J.T., who was shot while serving in Fallujah, Iraq., subsequently suffering an infection and a series of strokes that left him in a coma and relying on a ventilator to survive, Tuesday, Sept. 3, 2103, in Riverview, Fla. The Department of Veterans Affairs said Wednesday it supports expanding an enhanced caregivers benefit for grievously wounded veterans but only if Congress comes up with the billions needed to fund it. Congress created the program in 2010, giving caregivers of seriously wounded veterans a stipend, health care and at least 30 days of respite care each year. But it was limited to veterans who served after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Lawmakers told the VA to study the feasibility of expansion after some veterans groups raised questions about fairness.

FILE - This Aug. 25, 2013 file photo shows black columns of smoke rising from heavy shelling in the Jobar neighborhood in East of Damascus, Syria. U.S. intelligence agencies did not detect the Syrian regime readying a massive chemical weapons attack in the days ahead of the strike, only piecing together what had happened after the fact, U.S. officials say. One of the key pieces of intelligence Secretary of State John Kerry later used to link the attack to the Syrian government _ intercepts of communications telling Syrian military units to prepare for the strikes _ was in the hands of U.S. intelligence agencies but had not yet been "processed," according to senior U.S. officials.

FILE - In this Dec. 21, 2012 file photo, Education Secretary Arne Duncan speaks in Washington. A later start to the school day could help teenagers get the most from their classroom time and local districts should consider delaying the first bell, Duncan said Wednesday. School districts would still be free to set their own start times, Duncan insisted in a broadcast interview, but he pointed to research that backs up his comments that rested students are ready students. Duncan said he would not be telling local school leaders when their first bells should ring and said it was up to local leaders to make the decisions on their own. (AP Photo/Ann Heisenfelt, File)
