Channing Moss is the young man who ended up with a live shell in his body... which had to be removed in a delicate operation by surgeons, and lived to tell about it.
Locally, the program airs at 10:00 on WSB-TV. The segment is titled: The Toughest Call: Saving Private Moss.
Moss, an Army Private, first told his story to AccessNorthGa.com in May 2006, about three months after he was wounded.
He recalled at the time that he was on patrol in a Humvee on March 19 when the vehicle came under attack.
"I looked down and saw the tail fins hanging out of me," Moss said. "That's when I went into shock. I was screaming at my captain, 'I'm hit, I'm hit!'"
The rocket didn't go off, and Moss said that's a miracle.
Last December, as the Hall County native and West Hall High School graduate, continued to recovered at Walter Reed Medical Center near Washington, his wife, Lorena, spoke about his recovery and what the family was going through.
"As an Army wife you kind of figure that either they come back okay or not at all. But you don't really think about them being injured. I think that's almost as tough to deal with," she told CBS-TV's Sunday Morning.
