On Monday, the day before the president's State of the Union address, I spent an afternoon at The National Naval Medical Center's Ward 5 in Bethesda, Maryland. It's a place where wounds fresh from the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan are healed. In tonight's installment of our "Coming Home" series, Ann Curry reports on the Fisher House, where many of these young men and women rehabilitate following their hospital stays.
Lance Cpl. Colt Stovall speaks with one of his doctors at The National Naval Medical Center.
During my visit, I met the young man pictured above, Lance Cpl. Colt Stovall, U.S. Marine Corps, 2nd Battalion, 3rd Marines Weapons Company. The 21-year-old calls himself a "gun monkey." He's a mortar man, not as big as artillery, he says, but more mobile in order to cover the advancement of his fellow Marines' backs. He served in Afghanistan from June 2005 - January 2006 and in Iraq from Sept. 11 - Dec. 14, 2006, the day he was injured in a convoy northwest of Baghdad.
What follows are snippets and photos from my conversation with Stovall in his hospital room.

There was much for the two leaders to talk about today with the increasing violence in the Middle East. President Bush rarely ventures out to play tourist, as his trips are usually carefully scripted and all business. The White House press corps, always in tow, is often treated to some pretty spectacular backdrops. I captured these images just yards from our workspace and on the fly... as I quickly took in my surroundings before heading back in to cover the president and chancellor's press conference in Stralsund, Germany.
