Michael Yon - Reports from the War

I have read many other web logs from soldiers and some of these have been made into books. I think this is one of the best sites out there. Michael Yon is an embed journalist with the "deuce four" (24th Infantry regiment in Iraq). He is a former Green Beret. He makes reports as he sees it. There are also photos real time of the events on which he reports. I have read a few other books and sites like these and I am always amazed at the bravery of these men. Some of these dispatches are very gripping and you will be on the edge of your seat. Some have pictures in which you will say "is that actually happening as I see it?" Some of the reports are long and relate rather mundane events which eventually tie together later in the story, so stick with it. He has had some of these photos and stories submitted for a Pulitzer Prize. These are real American heros:
