ABC Anchor Bob Woodruff to Discuss His Experiences

April 19, 2008

National Media Symposium: Surviving Together with Bob and Lee Woodruff
April 19, 2008, 11 a.m.
Following the Remembrance Ceremony, the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum will host its annual National Media Symposium, featuring ABC Anchor Bob Woodruff and his wife Lee, who will discuss Surviving Together.

While covering the War on Terror in Iraq, Woodruff was critically injured when the unit with which he was embedded came under attack. This one-hour program will be moderated by Oklahoma City National Memorial Foundation Chairman Burns Hargis, and broadcast locally by KOCO-TV Eyewitness News 5 in Oklahoma City.

In January 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. In an instant, his life was altered forever. The Woodruffs will recount those shattering moments when Bob believed his life was over, the bravery of the men and women who saved his life, his subsequent surgeries and the painful recovery he’s still undergoing. The Woodruffs will also discuss their new understanding of the fragility of life, the strength of family, and their struggle to overcome the most tragic of circumstances.

This event is open to the public, but due to limited seating, tickets are required for admission. Call 405.235.3313 for information on reserving tickets.
