Posted by BEN BEAUMONT – ABC News anchor and past Clinton School speaker Bob Woodruff has returned to Iraq after he was critically injured by a roadside bomb there in 2007. CLICK HERE for an item on the Huffington Post’s website about Woodruff’s return.
Woodruff was injured in January 2006 only to return to ABC 13 months later with his first on-air report, “To Iraq and Back: Bob Woodruff Reports.” The hour-long, primetime documentary chronicled his traumatic brain injury, his painstaking recovery, and the plight of thousands of service members returning from Iraq and Afghanistan with similar injuries.
In February 2007, Woodruff and his wife Lee co-wrote a memoir “In an Instant,” about his injuries in Iraq and how their family persevered through a time of trauma and uncertainty.
