One group deserving of special attention in this war is the severely injured, whether in body, mind or spirit. We saw the powerful stories of a handful of injured veterans in the fabulous recent HBO documentary, "Alive Day Memories: Home from Iraq." But others are also telling their stories. A photographer named Nina Berman first began photographing injured vets when she felt that no one else seemed to be. Her photographic exhibitions are linked here; her book, "Purple Hearts: Back from Iraq," published in 2004, is listed in sidebar. Wounded warriors, captured in art by USMC combat artist, Michael Fay, are shown here on his blog. Those of us who have followed some of the combat veterans stories "as they unfolded" on their blogs on CaringBridge hold a special place in our heart for those we've seen recover before our very eyes. (Travis, Neil, Tony, Corey, Joey and others.) The road ahead is long, but their courage is palpable, and deserves to be justly celebrated. Remember: while over 3,500 military have died, over 27,000 have been injured, and will need to be re-integrated with family, friends and loved ones, employers, schools and communities as they heal.
