Bob Woodruff Returns to Iraq
July 13, 2009 8:52 AM
ABC News' Bob Woodruff is returning to Iraq.
As you may recall, three years ago Bob and cameraman Doug Vogt were critically injured in an IED attack there.
He explains his decision to return to Iraq in a blog post HERE.
"I have many goals with this trip," he writes. "I want to visit the doctors, nurses and medics who are putting their own lives at risk to save others. I would like to understand first-hand the status of the war and learn more about what the US role will be. I want to view first-hand the new equipment and vehicles that reduce the numbers of injured."

He has a tremendous amount of courage. I'm old enough to remember when journalists did put the desire to report the news above their own personal security. Good luck and I will be anxious to hear your reports.

I believe that he is one of the best reporters we have today - he reports the facts without opinion or judgment.

Fantastic News. I can't believe that it has been three years!
Bob Woodruff is a remarkably brave reporter. And, while he never hesitates to tell it like he sees it, he has become a great advocate for our solders, sailors, and marines that have returned home with traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), etc.
(On a personal note, Bob and his wife are both Colgate University graduates-- Bob and others like Chris Hedges make us alums proud!)
