OT: PBS Program "Body of War" | Arthritis Information

Tonight, on the PBS program "Bill Moyer's Journal" is a discussion with Phil Donahue, producer of the film "Body of War" about a paralyzed Iraq War veteran. Included: excerpts from film. Check local listing for time.

This film is about one young American, who after 9/11 signed up for military service thinking he would be sent to Afganistan but instead ended up in Iraq and being wounded and paralyzed after a few days of being there.

Regardless of how one feels about the war, I feel the film makes a point about the medical needs, services and support these injured soldiers require. Granted, its not easy to watch, but it is only a few minutes of our life, whereas this young man deals with being paralyzed 24/7. I think after watching this film more people will be committed to supporting legislation that will provide adequate funding to meet the needs of our Iraq War veterans. We sent them to Iraq, we cannot forget them now that they are home.
