Tanya Barrett, widow of trooper Mark Barrett, fears her son could lose access to a tuition waiver reserved for families of fallen military and first responders in Virginia.

The families of American heroes have been left devastated by recent changes that will impose tighter restrictions on education benefits for participants receiving tuition waivers from the Virginia Military Survivors and Dependents Education Program. Tanya Barrett's son was six years old when her husband, Mark, lost his life in the line of duty as a state trooper.

My son was six at the time, and he's grown up and going through high school, and we literally planned our life around him going to a state-supported school in Virginia. He's now at University of Virginia. It's great for him. he's grandfathered in one more year, and it could be taken away after that.' Republican Gov.
