An Evening with Bob Woodruff

Overview

From reporting on the Afghanistan and Iraq wars to covering the on-going situation in the Middle East and North Africa, to witnessing the final troops leaving Iraq from Camp Virginia in Kuwait, Woodruff conveys the most influential stories facing our world today.  In January of 2006, while reporting on U.S. and Iraqi security forces, Woodruff was seriously injured by a roadside bomb that struck his vehicle near Taji, Iraq.  Sharing stories from his moving and inspirational best-selling memoir, In An Instant, Woodruff captivates audiences and leaves them with a new understanding of the fragility of life, the strength of family, the bravery of those who helped save his life and lessons on how to survive and overcome even the most tragic of circumstances.  After his miraculous recovery, the Woodruffs established the Bob Woodruff Foundation, which assists wounded servicemen and their families with receiving the long-term care they need and helps them successfully reintegrate into their communities.
