Staff Sgt. Nick Popadich of the 3rd Battalion, 4th Marines Regiment, smokes a cigar while standing on top of his tank, as he arrives at a main crossroad in downtown Baghdad, in this April 9, 2003 file photo. A statue of then Iraqi President Saddam Hussein is in the background. Popaditch of Terre Haute, Ind., suffered severe injuries in an attack on his tank this week, almost one year after the fall of Baghdad, and will likely will lose his right eye after being hit with shrapnel when a rocket-propelled grenade slammed into his tank Wednesday, April 7, 2004, in Fallujah, family members and fellow Marines said Friday.
