Consider This from NPR - 20 Years Since The Start Of The Iraq War, Young Iraqis Still Dream Of A Better Future

On March 20, 2003, the United States launched its invasion of Iraq. We recall how the war started, and the trauma it left behind.

NPR's Eric Westervelt was embedded with the U.S. Army's Third Infantry Division as it pushed north from Kuwait. He describes what he saw in the first days of the war.

We also hear reporting from NPR's Ruth Sherlock, who spoke to young Iraqis who grew up in the years since the invasion and are still trying to realize a better future for their country.

In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.
