NOW with Bill Moyers

PBS Airdate: Friday, Nov. 7, 2003 at 9PM on PBS

(check local listings at http://www.pbs.org/now/sched.html)



The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have generated banner headlines and outpourings of grief about the dead, but the wounded have gone largely unnoticed. Today as hundreds who have been maimed and disabled in service to their country are coming home to rebuild their lives, many are engaged in a new battle?the battle for benefits. On Friday, November 7, 2003 at 9 P.M. (check local listings), NOW with Bill Moyers tells the story of injured and disabled soldiers who have been left behind by the military they served. NOW's David Brancaccio examines gaps between the Defense Department and the Department of Veterans Affairs?the federal government's first and second largest bureaucracies?which can allow America's war wounded to fall between the cracks after sacrificing so much for their country.



Join the post-broadcast online discussion of the issues at http://www.pbs.org/now/community.html.
