He made it home after receiving lifesaving care from the U.S. military, but the attack left him with a traumatic brain injury and an extensive and painstaking recovery. Now, almost 20 years later, Woodruff returns to the explosion site for the very first time to an area once known as the “Triangle of Death,” with his son, Mack, by his side. There, Woodruff reunites with the Iraqis who worked alongside the American troops to help save him as he retraces his 72 hours on the ground in 2006 and reexamines the implications of this war. Woodruff comes face-to-face with his past, talks candidly about the painful lessons he’s learned, and looks ahead to the future as he pursues his post-war mission to ensure no wounded veteran is left behind.
