War and Family

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
In April 2004, American soldiers on patrol in Sadr City, Iraq, came under a surprise attack. In the intense fighting that followed, 8 were killed, and over 70 were wounded. In The Long Road Home, ABC White House correspondent Martha Raddatz tells their stories—and the stories of their families waiting back home.
