(ABCNEWS) Camp for Kids Coping With Parents at War

This piece from ABC NEWS CHRISTINE ROMO and MEENA HARTENSTEIN and reported on WORLD NEWS by Bob Woodruff is one of the more moving pieces to emerge from broadcast television news.

More than 1.5 million troops have deployed in the last five years, meaning that as many as 700,000 children in this country have at least one parent deployed. And, according to the Department of Defense, there are at least 12,000 children with an injured parent. While their parents have been recognized for their service, these children are also veterans -- they each bear the wounds of war.(ABCNEWS)
