Stories of Courage

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
In April 2004, 8 US soldiers were killed in a surprise attack in Sadr City, Iraq. Over 70 more were wounded. On today’s show, ABC’s Martha Raddatz tells their stories. Later on, a new documentary follows the life of an 85-year-old artist who survived WWII internment camps and homelessness in New York. Plus: we talk about the Met’s current exhibit of photos taken during the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb. And we go behind the scenes of the NYPD’s bomb squad.
