Once in a while, but not often enough, we bring our viewers Face to Face with the courageous men and women of the military. Like many, we've grown weary of the war during the last five years, but we never tire of, nor can we keep a dry eye while hearing stories of the sacrifice and selflessness of those who put themselves in harm's way.
State Sen. Joe Heck, who just returned from a tour of duty in Iraq as an Army doctor, talks on tonight's program about losing his first battle casualty, a 20-year-old Marine. I have often wondered how many young people in the military question why they are fighting in Iraq, even as they put their lives on the line. Surprisingly, Heck says he heard very little second-guessing from the enlisted.
Tomorrow -
Americans are losing their homes, gas is nearing $4 a gallon and food prices are skyrocketing. Is the Democratic-controlled Congress sitting on its hands?
Or is it stymied by the White House? Jon asks U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada) about that, his book, the presidential contest and more via satellite from Washington, D.C.
