mgp2006: Meagher expands on the "Marlboro Marine" PTSD followup

MGP2006/JTM2007 alum Ilona Meagher, who is part of the ePluribus Media collaborative has posted a retrospective about the so-called "Marlboro Marine" -- pictured in a famous Los Angeles Times photograph after the battle in Fallujah. The marine, Kentuckian James Blake Miller, suffers from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PSTD). Meagher chose him to open her PSTD book, "Moving a Nation to Care," published over the summer. Now LA Times photographer Luis Sinco, who snapped the famous 2004 photograph, has written a two-part series in the Times about struggling to abandon the photographer/journalist detachment to reach out and help Miller with his illness. Meagher writes more about Miller here:
