Part 3 is the last of it, but it may signal a beginning of media not being so afraid to show the true effects of war.

LAST OF THREE PARTS

Battle on the Home Front
When wounded U.S. troops return from Iraq, nearly everything has changed. Except, for many, the drive to keep on fighting.

PART ONE
Bringing Back the Wounded
Injured troops are swept up in a lifesaving process unmatched in past wars — reaching hospitals in minutes and the U.S. in days.

PART TWO
Journey Through Trauma
Troops who survive the critical 'golden hour' after being seriously wounded can owe their lives to a fast-acting medical team.

If you click on the GALLERY: VOICES FROM THE FRONT...be prepared for heartbreak. All of our congress and all of the Bush administration should be forced to view this.

1. They only "watch" Fox news, and don't read, remember?

Way into our last old years, and you face death face to face in your last moments of this lifetime, some of us will be enlightened and realize what we have done. I truely wish upon * & Co. for this to be true.

...and if not, there is a lot of karma to be reconciled with....
