Summary |
A new generation of veterans is returning from Iraq. For the first time in American history, 90% of the wounded survive their injuries. But a greater percentage of these men and women are coming home from Iraq with amputations, traumatic brain injuries, and severe post-traumatic stress. For the survivors, two days will forever memorialize their lives: their birthday, and their Alive Day--the day they narrowly escaped death. James Gandolfini sits down with a handful of wounded vets who share their heartbreaking experiences in a way that brings the war closer to home for the rest of us. These ten soldiers talk about their memories, their feelings on their future, and more. |
