Wounded Iraq vets sample White Sox game

From ABC 7 Chicago:

Sixteen wounded Iraq veterans from all over the country were brought to Chicago Friday for a few days of special treatment and a show of appreciation. Friday night they were treated to a Sox game.

Iraqi war veterans and their families rode in style to US Cellular Field. Their limo bus pulled up right in front of the stadium. They made their way to watch the game from comfortable seats in a skybox, although some vets need a little more help. In all, 16 veterans from all over the country are getting star treatment this week, brought together by the Wounded Soldier's Program, which is footing the bill for all of their expenses.

The Wounded Soldier's Program's web site is here, the group was founded by Anna Sherony of Wadsworth, IL.

And the White Sox won tonight!
