Bob Woodruff
Reporter
While reporting on U.S. and Iraqi security forces for ABC’s World News Tonight, in 2006, Bob was seriously injured by a roadside bomb that struck his vehicle near Taji, Iraq. In a miraculous recovery, just 13 months later, Bob returned to ABC News with To Iraq and Back: Bob Woodruff Reports. Since then, he has reported from around the globe on a variety of subjects for the network. He was honored with a Peabody Award for his reporting on traumatic brain injury. In his best selling memoir, In an Instant, co-authored with his wife, he shares stories about the fragility of life, the strength of family, and the bravery of those who helped save him. Woodruff is also a co-founder of the Bob Woodruff Foundation, which coordinates 46,000 nonprofits to find, fund and shape forward-thinking programs in communities where veterans and their families and caregivers live and work.
Woodruff received an American Spirit Award for Citizen Activism from J.R. Martinez at The American Spirit Awards 2015.
