Our son is 19 and in college full time. His tuition and related expenses (food, lodging, etc) are paid for with my husband's GI bill.  Can we claim him as a dependent and get the associated dependent deduction/credit?

Thanks!

Yes, he is your dependent since the GI Bill income is considered support by your husband.
