In 2005, C-SPAN interviewed four returning Iraq war soldiers at Walter Reed Hospital. They were recuperating from injuries they received in Iraq. Each of the soldiers had lost on appendage; some were double amputees.
Earlier this year, we located all four people and travelled to their homes to interview them again.
This series is a side by side comparison of these two interviews.
