UPDATE: Michael Yon Reaches Settlement

Michael Yon reports that he now believes that the publisher of Shock magazine was acting in good faith when it paid a fee to an agency for the use of Michael's photo on its cover. Mike and the publisher have entered into a settlement which called for the payment of an appropriate licensing fee and a healthy donation to Fisher House (one of my most favorite charities!)

You can read more about the wonderful Fisher House organization and Fisher House Landstuhl (with photos from our stay last year) HERE

Nice to know that the good guys still win.

Taking some down time to attend and celebrate the marriage of the sailor son... and see most of the rest of the family, including the soldier son. Will check back in next week...

In the meantime, be sure to check out MILBLOGS at the Mudville Gazette -- there are some really bright and informed people writing there. Also check out the blogs listed in the side bar: there's some really good stuff being written out there.
