Hearts, homes open for vets: N.Y.C. hails 'wounded warriors'
Some 40 disabled vets from Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington and their families will arrive today to a heroes' welcome in New York City.
The heart of the visit will be lessons in various water sports - from scuba to water skiing - all adapted for their injuries.
The soldiers will get an FDNY and NYPD escort as they cross into the city this evening.
