(AP) As chief of photo operations for the Associated Press in Saigon for a decade beginning in 1962, Horst Faas didn’t just cover the fighting — he also recruited and trained new talent from among foreign and Vietnamese freelancers. The result was “Horst’s army” of young photographers, who fanned out with Faas-supplied cameras and film and stern orders to “come back with good pictures.” He and his editors chose the best and put together a steady flow of telling photos — South Vietnam’s soldiers fighting and its civilians struggling to survive amid the maelstrom. Faas, a Pulitzer Prize-winning combat photographer who carved out new standards for covering war with a camera and became one of the world’s best-known photojournalists in nearly half a century with the AP, died Thursday in Munich, his family said. He was 79. For more information go to the the LA Times website.
 U.S. Marine Cpl. Reece Lodder, a combat correspondent with 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment, and 22-year-old native of Everson, Wash., pauses during a security halt while patrolling here with the 81mm Mortar Platoon, Weapons Company, 3rd Bn., 3rd Marines, Feb. 8, 2012. After deploying to Helmand province's Garmsir district in November 2011, Lodder witnessed positive progress in Garmsir that has largely been ignored by mainstream media. He chronicled the work of Marines and sailors developing and advising Afghan forces taking the lead in strengthening security in Garmsir. With improved security, commerce flourished and successful district community council elections were held without incident mid-April. In the coming weeks, 3rd Bn., 8th Marines will relieve 3rd Bn., 3rd Marines in Garmsir and complete the district's transition of lead security responsibility from coalition to Afghan forces. (Photo by Lance Cpl. Kevin Jones) Staff Sgt Jeremy Vought, Marine Corps Liaison / DVIDS SNCOIC tells us there is a “Nice editorial from fellow Combat Correspondent, Cpl. Reece Lodder.” About his work in Afghanistan. Read it here. Executive Director Note: Contrary to emails you may receive concerning Chuck Beveridge, he is not in Africa, is not sick, and is not requesting your money. Folks, this is a scam in which someone has corrupted his FaceBook page and is asking for money in his name. While we would like to think that our members are savvy enough not to fall for things like this, we have had two reports in the past week asking if Chuck is okay and, should they reply to emails such as these. The answer is NO! If you are ever in any doubt about a potential scam, go to Snopes.com. They will usually have the word on the latest scam.
