Photo of the Day: Reunited
Yesterday's photo got some great feedback. Today's is better, and comes via a great blog called War Photos.
Every Picture Tells a Story, Don't It: Free Iraqi Forces soldier Ali, whose full name was withheld for security reasons, hugs a nephew he had never seen before as he is reunited with family members Saturday in Umm Qasr, Iraq. Ali, 40, a former officer in the Iraqi army, escaped from Iraq in 1991 after being involved in the Basra uprising and had been working as a taxi driver in St. Louis, Mo. He is serving with U.S. troops in the Free Iraqi Forces, which are made up mostly of Iraqi exiles opposed to Saddam Hussein. They're helping a lot.
