Thanks for the pics. Here is a picture that I love. It is not "in the news" today. In order for it to be "in the news" you would have to get in a time machine and go back to 1952 and the Korean War. But I always thought this picture captured the essence of the American Fighting Man to a T. Kinda says it all. The cigarette clenched in his teeth reflects the tension and stress of combat. The hard look in his eyes as he scans the next hill for any sign of NK or ChiCom regulars. The pullover hat worn under his helmet, and the gloves on his hands reflecting the bitter cold of the Korean winter. The grenades on his LBE straps. The five o'clock shadow and haggard appearance reflecting hard fighting, leading to the classic "thousand yard stare." And of course, in his hands, "the finest battle implement ever devised," that magnificent weapon of iron and wood, the M-1 Garand, waiting to fill the crisp winter air with a thunderous BOOM when this sharp-eyed soldier has acquired a target. "Hey Mac, got a light?"
