"TOM BROKAW REPORTS: TO WAR AND BACK" -- SUNDAY, DEC. 18

IN ONE OF THE FIRST DOCUMENTARIES OF ITS KIND, NBC NEWS TAKES A LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOUNG MEN GO TO WAR, LOSE FRIENDS, GET HURT AND THEN COME HOME

ON SUNDAY, DEC. 18TH AT 8PM, "TOM BROKAW REPORTS: TO WAR AND BACK," THE COMBAT VETERANS OF AN ARMY NATIONAL GUARD SQUAD TAKE NBC NEWS INTO THEIR LIVES TO SHARE THEIR CONFUSION, GRIEF AND PRIDE

(New York, N.Y.) - Dec. 5, 2005 - They were teenage buddies, a close-knit group that knew each other from the ball fields of upstate New York. They whiled away their time jamming on guitar and playing video games. And then, one day they went to war together and became the Nighthawk platoon.

Lured by the promise of a fully paid-for college education, this group of friends joined the New York Army National Guard. None of them ever dreamed they would be deployed - and with good reason - no infantry unit from the New York Army National Guard had ever been sent into combat since World War II. However, in October 2003 the 2nd battalion, 108th Infantry was told it was soon heading to Iraq. Seven friends left behind girlfriends, fianc?es, parents, siblings and civilian life. Only 6 would make it back. Three of them would be seriously wounded. All of them would be changed forever.
