You will not believe this one
Blackfive has outright busted a magazine for the theft of a photograph, correspondent Michael yon had taken while embedded with the Deuce 4 in Iraq. His writing and photographs are not only a statement of the war and everything that surrounds it, but a testimony to the men in the Deuce Four with which he lived, fought and with everyone else in the unit became a band of brothers.
Michael’s photograph, which can be seen in the photo on the front cover of the magazine that stole it, has become a statement of the war and those who serve. There are many stories involved with this particular photograph and is a must read for those who are not aware of the story.
Please, go to Blackfive, read his statement then go to Michael Yon’s site, read his stories as only he can tell, as he was there, alongside each man who fought.
The theft of this photograph by a magazine is an attack upon the name of every man and woman who was, is and will be in Iraq Afghanistan and anywhere else, our military is serving. It is a violation of Michael Yon’s rights and privacy as a journalist, a correspondent and a friend of the military, support him and go to Blackfive, click on the e-mail addresses he has listed for this magazine and tell them what you think. I did and I will do it again, this theft is a disgusting affront to anyone who has served and any journalists who was there.
