We the People - The War: Coming Home - 24 May 08 - Part 1

We The People is a special series that will examine the issues weighing heavily on voters minds by travelling the country and meeting the people whose lives are most affected.

While most Americans would be hard-pressed to remember where they were and what they were doing when the Iraq war started five years ago, it has been a life-changing event for those most closely involved with it.

On March 21, 2003, the Marines of Fox 2/5 were the first troops to invade Iraq.

Award-winning documentary filmmaker Mike Cerre, a former Marine himself, has followed the story of this average company of Marines, from their subsequent tours of duty in Iraq to their return to civilian life.

While most have successfully gone back to school, started families and pursued careers, others have been battling the physical and psychological effects of war.

Weaving the stories of these individual soldiers together, We the People explores a generation at war.
