Thank Your For Your Service
Pulitzer Prize-winning writer David Finkel's new book, "Thank You for Your Service," chronicles the lives of soldiers returning to America after months and years serving abroad. Finkel spent eight months in Iraq during one of the war's most turbulent periods in 2007 and 2008 and says the mental wounds of war can be just as haunting and debilitating as wounds from a bullet or bomb. He sits down with ABC's Bob Woodruff.
