Army Pfc. Michael Wright shows Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz the piece of shrapnel doctors removed from his knee after the humvee he was riding in hit a land mine. Wolfowitz stopped by Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., on Nov. 11, 2003, to visit with some of the wounded soldiers recovering there before joining President Bush at Arlington National Cemetery for the traditional Veterans Day observances. Wright was serving in Iraq with the 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 82nd Airborne Division when he was wounded. He told Wolfowitz that he hopes to be able to rejoin his unit and even make parachute jumps with them.
