This is pretty amazing. Time magazine has named "The American Soldier" as its "Person of the Year". The TNT carries an Associated Press article describing the honor.
Michael Weisskopf, the journalist embedded with the unit profiled in Time, recently lost his hand when he threw a grenade out of the Humvee he was traveling in. He likely saved the lives of others in the vehicle, including soldiers. In an unique gesture of appreciation, the U.S. Army allowed Weisskopf to be treated at Walter Reed hospital even though he is a civilian.
His photographer, James Nachtwey, was also injured. Marcel was kind enough to forward a link to his online photo gallery if you'd like to see his work.
