    U.S. troops laugh as they listen to visiting wounded warriors share stories and jokes about their lives after their injuries Oct. 15, at Camp Ramadi, Iraq, as Army Staff Sgt. Luke Wilson, 29, from Hermiston, Ore., who lost his left leg above the knee in a grenade attack in Baghdad in 2004, flips his prosthetic leg up while telling a joke. Emotions ranged from humor to tears as the wounded warriors traveled through Iraq seeking closure for their traumatic combat-related experiences.
