ALBANY (AP) -- The New York state Department of Health has announced the release of a new video on the lives of veterans coping with traumatic brain injuries.

The video, titled "Coming Home," is narrated by Lee Woodruff, wife of ABC News reporter Bob Woodruff, who suffered a severe head injury in 2006 while covering the war in Iraq. Dave Hughes, whose radio career was shortened by a brain injury in 1992, also narrates the video.

The 30-minute documentary details how traumatic brain injuries have changed the lives of New York veterans. The video was produced by the  Brain Injury Association of New York State in cooperation with the health department.

The film is the second of two created by the Albany-based association to increase awareness of traumatic brain injuries suffered by veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
