Hi,
Several months ago, I called filmmaker Patricia Foulrod, who made the excellent documentary about returning Iraq Vets, "The Ground Truth." She told me about a sizzling new film about Iraq vets by Phil Donahue. "It's like 'Coming Home' (the classic Jon Voight/Jane Fonda vet film) times ten, Wendy!" she said. Patricia was right.
We are really proud to bring you a sneak peak of that film by Phil Donahue, "BODY OF WAR." And also the world television premiere of Dan Lohaus' "WHEN I CAME HOME."
At Link, we've long been concerned about veteran issues. Paul Rieckhoff at IAVA says that at least one-in-three Iraq veterans will face a mental health issue like depression, anxiety, or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

As Paul says in the film, "its a wave coming, and we're not prepared." What do you think?
