For the love of the ....

Michael Yon has been mentioned here too many times. His passion for reporting the truth straight from the lion's mouth will take him to Pulitzer Status very very soon. The only journalist who funds his own way, reports his own sightings and earned the respect of his peers (even though his peers never left Hotel Baghdad). Michael successfully brought the smiles of children out of Iraq and Afghanistan. War stories, not of body count or IEDs, instead recount of valour and bravery and kindness. Stories of smiling faces, written from a street battle, etc etc.

We, his readers breathed a sigh of relief when he appeared on CNN from Seattle Washington.
Now he is back into the thick of things again.

Dear Michael,
Thank you for your courage, good eyes for pictures, and wit for writing.
Keep your head on, and the rest of your body parts too.
Stay safer so you may tell more stories.
And most of all.... DUCK!

Your avid reader.
