Michael Yon's touching photo of Major Mark Bieger carrying little Farah to the hospital after a car bomb attack has been voted on in TIME Magazine's 'Photo of the Week.' There are 10 photos now to vote on for the year, including Yon's - he's the only amateur photographer included in the bunch!
Michael Yon is known for being an incredibly humble and modest guy, and his new post is no different:
"Any US soldier who has ever served in combat can probably give countless examples of moments like this. I just happened to be on the scene that day when a terrorist who had been trailing a Deuce Four patrol in a car packed with explosives waited until a crowd of children had gathered around the soldiers and selected that moment to drive into the crowd and detonate."
Go vote! The photographs are beautiful, but none are as beautiful and powerful as Mr. Yon's.
Hi Kath! Have already done that...if he weren't so far ahead in numbers I'd being figuring out a way to cheat:) He is just awesome.
