TV Date Tonight at 10 PM

If you are at home eating a microwavable dinner tonight, you might want to check out a special on Bob Woodruff airing on ABC. Yes I realize this is on another network. And at the risk of getting in trouble, I believe the story is worth watching regardless of the channel.

Bob Woodruff is an extremely handsome man who was making a name for himself about this time a year ago. He was given the co-anchor position as News Anchor for ABC World News Tonight. After only 20-something days on the job as the news anchor, Woodruff and his crew were hit by a roadside bomb while covering a story on Iraq. He suffered such damage that half of his skull had to be removed in order for him to survive the swelling. At first he could not recall the names of his two twin daughters or even name one single state in the U.S. The next 13 months were a long road for both he and his family. His recovery is a tale of survival, endurance and definitely to a certain degree-miraculous.

Here's where you can go to read up on what will be airing tonight:
"To Iraq and Back" explores Woodruff's treatment for traumatic brain injury at Bethesda Naval Medical Center. The center has cared for more than 2,000 injured soldiers since the start of the Iraq campaign in 2003, according to hospital officials.
