  • Thank you all very much for your kind words! Just to clarify everyone identified has given me permission to post their picture. I am the Public Affairs Chief and title holds with it "release athority" for Marines with 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing. There really is very little danger to them or their families considering I don't list hometowns. This weekend I will be covering the historic national elections in this country and I will post photos as soon as I can. Thanks again for your support. Staff Sgt. Chad McMeen, Iraq

  • Hello Chad! It's really a great emotion to watch at your photos: all perfect pictures of a professional photographer, shot in a scenery in the international spotlight for years by now. My preferred are the ones that catch the looks and the actions of those men: revealing strenght, courage and passion. They're valorous. You're valorous. Grape on the ramp is emblematic: the jump in the middle of the scene. Your shots in the backlight are spectacular. Your unique ability in capturing human subject makes that wonderful People Shots album, but also Me at work. ;-) Wish God turns all this in something good for your Land and for all the World. Best wishes and congratulations from: Ale :-) from Italy

  • Hello Chad, Congratulations on having a well deserved featured album today. Your photography is extremely artistic, highly professional and very informative. I have only one concern about this album and your other album of people. It involves one of security. It is probably not appropriate for you to identify armed forces personnel in your photographs by name. Their family members at home could be at risk of harrasment or even worse. If you simply listed the occupation of the individual and not their name, it would probably be a wise thing to do. You can still edit the photographs to make this change. I hope that you will consider it. Thanks for bringing home to us in the United States a sense of pride in the work that the armed forces are doing in Iraq. Bill Cable (heyburn3)

  • This is not only a stunningly photographed album, it is also an album of high emotional value. It shows images of what the public rarely sees. It gives Iraq a human touch. You have given us a day to day in the life of a soldier! The images are well done and I can see you have a passion for capturing an image in its purest meaning. Congratulations on your feature.. and I hope you are home and safe. Oh yes and thank you ever so much for the narrative. Eti from Florida
