Comedy Central's Stephen Colbert [[col-BEAR]] plans to honor U.S. troops returning home from Iraq with two special episodes of his show, "The Colbert Report" [[Re-POR]]. "Been There: Won That: The Returnification of the American-Do Troopscape" will celebrate the end of more than seven years of combat operations in Iraq. The shows are scheduled to air on the cable network on September 8th and 9th. The audience for both shows will consist of military personnel, both active duty and war veterans. Commenting on the upcoming episodes, Colbert said, quote, "No matter how you felt about this war, we Americans sent them off to fight it. And now that it's over, we should thank them."
