The photo of Sergeant Kimberly Munley chatting yesterday with the Secretary of Defense came from this CNN story. Munley is not herself a veteran, but I don't think anyone who is would begrudge her placement here. Her comrade in arms the other day, Sergeant Mark Todd, also deserves kudos.
If you're not reading Michael Yon's dispatches, you're missing a chance to learn from the best war reporter working today.
Elsewhere in the blogosphere, Cassandra profiles Lt. Col. Juanita Warman while writing about those who serve.
As usual with Cassandra's work, the essay is elegantly written, and worth reading both for the opportunity to meet Colonel Warman and for the chance to follow the thought of Cassandra herself.
I also liked this unrelated but classy expression of gratitude.
UPDATE: This series of short videos showing dogs greeting returning veterans doesn't count as reading, but it's worth watching.

Sergeant Kim is a hero(ine); the generalissimos who don't have our soldiers' backs could learn from her.
