His name was Byron Norwood, and his parents are William and Janet.

Here's the caption that goes with the pic.....

Byron Norwood, was killed in action in Iraq, reaches out to Marine Staff Sgt. John Manuel Martinez while the dead Marine's mother, Janet Norwood, embraces Safia Taleb al-Suhail, leader of the Iraqi Womens Political Council.
