Thanks for posting these pictures. My nephew is serving with the 82nd AB in Iraq right now. Check the top of my homepage for his picture.

I agree! Excellent idea!
Terrorist use little boys like this as human shields.
The soldier stands tall as a shield & beacon to freedom.
The juxtaposition is truly astounding.

Picture of the year.
It was a picture of a cop rescuing a kid in the Daily News back in the sixties that inspired me to try the NYPD. This should be seen by every all our young...America at its best.
And, as an aside, a reminder that war journalists deserve some credit for their own brass. Too often freepers trash these guys, especially on threads about one of them killed or kidnapped. Somebody put his life in the soup to bring us this image.

You killed the whole concept with the first photo.
The second one was the hook. It alone should’ve been displayed.

David thanks for what you are doing and this ping.
Maybe Potlatch can show Pelosi hiding behind this brave American Warrior.

I am reminded of a poster I saw in jump school about a hundred years ago...
It was a photo of a World War II paratrooper who had obviously been in battle for weeks. The story below the photo was:
A paratrooper yelled at a tanker, "hey! You looking for a place to park that thing?"
The tanker replied that he was looking for a spot. The paratrooper said, "park it behind me. I'm 82nd Airborne and this is as far as the bastards are going."
God bless the 82nd.

To: FatherofFive
The sad reality is that is that kid could have been a suicide bomber. Or, using some sort of electronic device (probably a cell phone) to help the enemy triangulate the soldier's position.
I know its not the weepy sentiment of most of the people here, but we saw way too much of kids being used like this back in Vietnam.
