Editor & Publisher Magazine reports that Joseph Patrick Dwyer died last week of a drug overdose. The North Carolina Army medic was "made famous by a photograph that showed him carrying an injured Iraqi boy during the first week of the war," the Web site said.

Now the test: Do you remember this picture?

Pictured is a brave soul that not only has a young child in his arms to protect , but his very country to protect. What ever his assignment, rank or personal feelings might be. He is doing his job bravely, and I am proud to belong to the country this man represents. We are all human, vulneruble to the path's that we are driven down. No excepetions. God's gift is free will and we will make mistakes.
