Okay. I got my confirmation through reading his hometown news service website and Reuters does have it wrong. I've corrected the caption. It's great to see him back in uniform and recovering.

General Tommy Franks, visits U.S. Marine Pfc. Adrian Fakes, a combat engineer with the 2nd Combat Engineer Brigade of Camp Lejeune, N.C., March 31, 2003 at the 47th Combat Support Hospital in the Kuwait desert. Fake, recovering from shrapnel wounds in a mission for Operation Iraqi Freedom, said it was overwhelming to meet the general. Picture taken March 31 By Reuters.
