South Bay Marine Makes Progress From Brain Injury

Sharon Chin, Reporting
MOUNTAIN VIEW (CBS 5) ― Corporal Jason Poole suffered permanent brain damage from an explosion during his third tour in Iraq in 2004. Four years later, it's hard to believe the 25-year-old was barely alive, with shrapnel piercing his head.
