Thank you TomGuy. The Cigarette Smoking Man in Fallujah was on the front page of the Dallas Morning News yesterday. He also...caught my eye ; )

Here's a better photograph, posted by Fox News, than the one I posted elsewhere. I find it
haunting and captivating, his eyes alert, and his face wise but weary after a tough fight.

As it is one of the truly awesome portraits to come out of this conflict, this Marine will be
immortalized for decades. Too bad the photographer did not get his name.

He also makes me proud that we have such young fellows in our military services --
proud of him, his family and this country. Hoo-jah! ... and, thank you!
