The Charlotte Observer ran this story and photo in Sunday's paper and online edition. The only trouble is the Observer with all the technology put only a tiny photo on line. The drama is lost in the tiny photo. Click on the above photo. See what I mean?
Yep totally BAD ASS!
The Observer story below and at the bottom of this post a link to more photos.
In a photograph taken in Afghanistan and seen around the world, Army medic Tyrone Jordan of Charlotte runs off the battlefield hunched under the weight of a wounded U.S. Marine he is carrying on his back.
Jordan's face is fixed with intensity, his mouth wide open, yelling. The Marine's legs hang over one of Jordan's shoulders; his arms and head dangle from the other. Dust from the desert swirls around them.
It is an iconic image of war: one man saving the life of another.
The rest of the story by Elizabeth Leland is here.
