In YNN’s special series “Healing Heroes” Chie Saito examines what surviving war means to the modern soldier.

In the decade-long War on Terror, the U.S. lost less than 5,000 soldiers. Much of that is attributed to life-saving training and technology which is happening right down the road at the San Antonio Military Medical Center.

The series also explores the San Antonio Military Medical Center’s roots in its medical mission and how the economics of war benefit local communities.

Check out the special series that runs May 20–25, only on YNN, channel 8 and 1508. You can also catch the full series on YNN.com
