Henrico, VA—The "We Can Do Better" bus tour hosted by Concerned Veterans for America made a stop in Henrico County Sunday afternoon.

The tour traveled through Virginia Sunday, in an effort to promote awareness about the problems facing military service members after they return from Iraq and Afghanistan.

Notable speakers and veterans who took part in the tour include Steve Russell, author of "We Got Him: The Hunt for Saddam," who spoke on his involvement in the capture of Saddam Hussein. Jane Horton,  a Gold Star wife who lost her husband in September of 2011 when he was killed in Afghanistan, also participated in the tour.

The "We Can Do Better" tour stopped in several locations in Virginia on Sunday, including Manassas, Colonial Beach and Harrisonburg.
