Another soldier killed in Iraq

Take a good look at PFC Dwyer, who shattered his soul in Iraq.

During the first week of the war in Iraq in 2003, a Military Times photographer captured the image of Army Pfc. Joseph Patrick Dwyer as he raced through a battle zone clutching a tiny Iraqi boy named Ali.
