To the
right is the first picture America has seen of Bob Woodruff, co-anchor of ABC's World News Tonight since he
was severely injured in Iraq back in January. To accompany the picture, ABC released a message he sent to the news division
president, David Westin, which was then relayed to his co-workers. "Though I know there is still a long road ahead, it's nice to be feeling more like myself again laughing with family, reading bedtime stories and reminding my kids to do their homework," Woodruff wrote.
No indication was given as to when he'd return to WNT, who will be losing their other co-anchor, Elizabeth Vargas, when she goes on maternity leave later this year.

Bob, My Wife and I have you in our prayers. We're not Bible Thumpers but it can't hurt. God Bless you and your family during these times of fear, struggle and hope. We look forward to you joining us for Supper again on the ABC Nightly News.
By the way, if you and your Wife ever want to get away to a small rural Northwest seaport town, our Guesthouse is yours and our Girls (chickens) will work hard to make sure you have very special eggs.
Hang in there Buddy. Scott and Linda Graebel (just south of Port Townsend, Washington)

Bob, My brother Tom, stationed at Balad Air Base Hospital in Iraq, was one of your first trauma surgeons. He was so heartened to hear from me that you had been released home to your family. He sends his best wishes.
