Thank you, sir, for your service

And come home safely please. And thank you, Tim Hetherington, for an excellent photo.
Tim Hetherington, a Vanity Fair photographer based in Britain, won the World Press Photo of the Year 2007 award with this picture of an American soldier resting at a bunker in Korengal Valley, Afghanistan taken September 16, 2007. Jury chairman of the World Press Photo 2007 contest, Gary Knight, said "This image shows the exhaustion of a man and the exhaustion of a nation, we're all connected to this. It's a picture of a man at the end of a line". The prize-winning entries of the World Press Photo Contest 2008, the world's largest annual press photography contest, were announced February 8, 2008.
