ARMY VETERAN SAYS FACE TRANSPLANT GAVE HIM A NEW LIFE

The second person in the U.S. to receive a face transplant -- a 62-year-old Vietnam veteran and former heroin addict -- continues to recover and says the surgery has given him a new lease on life. "When you replace a missing part, it restores a person's humanity," said plastic surgeon Bohdan Pomahac, who led the surgery. "For someone with no human facial features, it gives them the appearance of looking human again." WBNS-TV (Columbus, Ohio)/The Associated Press (4/12)
