- James Blake Miller, U.S. Iraq War veteran, known as "the Marlboro Man" for the iconic, close-up photograph of his dirt-smeared, battle-weary face, with a cigarette planted in his mouth. (The photograph was taken by Los Angeles Times photographer Luis Sinco, and was published in more than 100 newspapers; it was also singled out by former anchor Dan Rather on the CBS Evening News.) Miller's Marine unit took part in the November 2004 assault on Fallujah — an experience he avoids talking about. Since returning from Iraq, he has suffered many of the classic symptoms of PTSD: difficulty sleeping, recurring nightmares, startling easily, and serious flashbacks. He was diagnosed by a military psychiatrist in mid-2005."The Face of War"
