Out-takes, observations and other insight from South Puget Sound
Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008

Reader Bill Casper sent us a note about a photo at ran on Thursday, January 11, 2008 on page A10. The photo is Staff Sgt. Jon Hilliard and his wife, Danielle, from the ceremony where he was awarded a Silver Star for helping to save the lives of seven wounded men in his Stryker vehicle.

I just came across this Subject page while moving some stuff on a cluttered shelf. I cannot look at Peter Haley's photo or hand it to some one without tears and choking up. About all I can do is type with tears flowing. I would like you to nominate the photo as the number one TNT photo of the year and also submit it for national recognition.

To me the emotional effect is partly my joy in seeing the pride in that wife's eyes and pissed off anger that so many Americans do not share her pride and devotion.

Bill
