I eagerly look forward to his dispatches and support him financially with small donations ($25 here and there). I doubt he will get a Pulitzer because the kind of people who do Pulitzers don’t do Iraq. Every day he is out there is a slap in the face to the absentee American press.
His reporting will be long remembered and appreciated. I put him in the same class as Ernie Pyle and, unlike Ernie, hopefully Michael Yon will have a long life to enjoy the respect and admiration of Americans for providing us with the straight story from Iraq.
Concur, and I’ve sent him a couple $20s as well. Probably time to do it again.
To anyone paying attention, the fact that a Yon is compelled to exist, is an extremely denigrating indictment of the American press.
