Even though this site is 'Under Construction', this is an important topic to comment on. Please click the link above, read the history, and contribute to the fight against HFM, the magazine/media heavyweight, stealing a very moving and important image.

Michael Yon is an extraordinarily talented and brave citizen journalist that has traveled, at his own expense, to our conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq. Michael files gripping, fascinating and moving stories about the life, struggles, and triumphs of our soldiers in a very personal way, unlike other media sources I've seen.

His camera has captured images that cover a wide range of situations and emotions, most notably a picture of a US soldier caring for a young Iraqi girl fatally injured in a terrorist attack. The recent launch of a magazine featuring pictures of anal exams and a rotting corpse used the image, without permission, on its cover and dishonestly used a picture of Michael inside, insinuating that he authorized and approved of its use, neither of which is true.

Michael is fighting back. Please click on the link above and learn what you can do to help.
