Photo: Warren Zinn Combat sears the mind and body in ways we can only begin to understand. Everyone comes home from war changed. Tragically, many troops have come home from Iraq and Afghanistan suffering from chronic combat stress, and many have gone on to develop post-traumatic stress disorder. Army Spec. Joe Dwyer was one of those soldiers. He went to war as a combat Medic with the 3rd Infantry Division, serving with 3rd Squadron, 7th Cavalry, during its headlong rush to Baghdad in 2003. Immortalized by a Military Times photograph depicting him carrying a young Iraqi child, he went on to see a great deal of suffering on all sides during his tour, and he brought many ghosts home with him. Dwyer tried mightily to beat these demons, but eventually succumbed to the struggle. On June 28, he died from the effects of various chemicals he ingested to kill ...

2008-08-28 IRAQ VETERANS ENDORSE OBAMA By Kimberly Hefling / Associated Press DENVER -- Iraq war veterans brought their military credibility to the podium on Wednesday and endorsed Sen. Barack Obama as the best candidate to lead the military and help veterans. Obama is challenged by GOP Sen. John McCain, a former Navy pilot who was a prisoner of war in Vietnam. Seeking to bolster Obama's credentials on security issues, Obama was formally nominated at the Democratic convention by Michael Wilson, 33, of Melbourne, Fla., an Air Force Medic who served in Iraq. Wilson, a Republican, said Obama has wisdom and courage "to talk to our enemies and consult with our allies." Rep. Patrick Murphy, D-Pa., 34, the only Iraq war veteran elected to Congress, addressed the crowd with 25 male and female recent veterans wearing dark business suits at his side. He said Obama has fought for better care for veterans at Walter Reed Army Medical Center and to end homelessness among veterans. "That's why we are here and we are proud to stand with him as he leads the fight for a smarter and tougher foreign policy, so that we can finally end the war in Iraq, go after the terrorists who attacked us on 9/11, and defeat them where they are strongest, in Afghanistan," Murphy said. McCain, a key backer of the troop increase in Iraq, is against a scheduled troop withdrawal. Obama spoke out against the war at the start and opposed the troop increase. He has said his pl ...

Other blasts kill 9 Iraqis; leaders' talks still bitter over power-sharing formulaBAGHDAD -- A roadside bomb killed two U.S. soldiers in a predominantly Shiite area in Baghdad on Monday, the first deadly attack against American troops in the capital in nearly a month. At least nine Iraqis also were killed in explosions elsewhere in the Baghdad area, Iraqi officials said, in a grim reminder of the dangers that continue to face security forces and civilians despite significant security gains over the past year. The U.S. military said another American soldier was wounded when the blast struck a U.S. patrol at about 9:30 a.m. in eastern Baghdad. The area was the site of fierce clashes and frequent roadside bombings blamed on Shiite militiamen before a cease-fire by anti-U.S. cleric Muqtada al-Sadr. The soldiers were the first to be killed in Baghdad since July 8, when a roadside bomb killed Spc. William McMillan III, a 22-year-old Army Medic from Lexington, Ky., and wounded five other soldiers in the western neighborhood of Amariyah, a Sunni area. Iraqi politicians, meanwhile, remained in bitter debate over a power-sharing formula for the disputed, oil-rich city of Kirkuk that has blocked passage of a law providing for provincial elections. The U.S. hopes the nationwide local vote will stem remaining support for violence by more fairly distributing power among Iraq's rival ethnic and religious communities. Talks continued late into the nigh ...

A former Army Medic made famous by a photograph that showed him carrying an injured Iraqi boy during the first week of the war in March 2003 has died of an apparent overdose, police said. ...
Spc. Jayme Pohovey hugged mom and dad, grandma and grandpa. The soft-spoken soldier looked over the group that turned out to welcome him home. “Everyone’s here,” he said. On Thursday, Pohovey, an Army Medic who served a stint in Afghanistan, returned home for only the second time in three and a half years. He walked through the terminal at the Akron-Canton Airport with a baby bag on his shoulder, and his wife, Svetlana, and two daughters, Natalia, 9, and Selene, 18 months, at his side. Eager to see her son on American soil, mother Glenda Collins rushed to her 26-year-old son, embracing him. “This is kind of overwhelming,” said Pohovey, who returned just after 6 p.m. on a connecting flight out of Detroit. “I didn’t expect all of this. “Now, I just want to be home.” Pohovey, a 2000 Fairless High graduate, has spent time in Korea, but has lived mostly in Schweinfurt, Bayern, Germany, with his wife and daughters. Having his wife, of Russia, at his side has made his time away from home easier, but not easy. “It gets rough,” Pohovey said. “But I’ve got my family – my wife and kids – there, so it helps.” From May 2007 through mid-July, Pohovey served as part of the 91st Cavalry Regiment, 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team in Afghanistan. On July 27, 2007, his platoon was in eastern Afghanistan, riding with the Afghan National Army to a series of villages north of their base to deliver humanitarian aid, gather intelligence and conduct a v ...
