I think that this serviceman will treasure this picture forever.
A Jordanian in Amman covers his face while watching television coverage of a U.S. Marine draping an American flag over a statue of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein in Baghdad April 9, 2003. The Arab world was in shock, and some Arabs were in denial, after Baghdad fell almost without a fight and jubilant Iraqis, aided by U.S. Marines, toppled the towering statue of Saddam. Images of crowds rejoicing at the fall of the authoritarian ruler and cheering U.S. forces, broadcast live in many Arab countries on Wednesday, caused consternation and a sense of shame, tinged in some places with envy.
