RIO RANCHO, N.M. -- A 22-year-old Rio Rancho man is featured on the cover of this week's special edition of Time magazine.

The image of Pfc. Christopher Lujan gives a human face to the preparations for the upcoming Iraqi elections. The photo was taken last week while Lujan was on foot patrol in the streets of Mosul.

Lujan's parents got the news that their son's photo will grace grocery store racks and newsstands Monday. But that's only a bonus to better news.

When Lujan's commander called his father with the good news, he also said the young man is to return to the states next month.

Lujan initially told his family he likely wouldn't be back until April.
