The former U.S. Secretary of State will personally thank a war veteran for his service on the program.
Wired PR News – Colin Powell, Bush era U.S. Secretary of State, will make an appearance on the top rated home makeover show, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. As reported by the Associated Press (AP), the primetime program will feature Powell meeting with Jeff Cooper, a disabled Gulf War veteran who suffers from Gulf War illness in addition to multiple sclerosis and other conditions.
