Times Person of the year 2003

They swept across Iraq and conquered it in 21 days. They stand guard on streets pot-holed with skepticism and rancor. They caught Saddam Hussein. They are the face of America, its might and good will, in a region unused to democracy. The U.S. G.I. is TIME's Person of the Year

Great Choice!!!

Yes, I agree. After what they have been through in the past year, with planning the invasion, carrying it out and taking Sadam, this is very fitting.

As a Viet vet, it puts a tear in my eye to see our troops get recognition for their sacrifice. They are so deserving.

Somewhere in that photo are the faces of 50,000 Americans who lost their lives in that war, too.

I agree that there is no other person or group of people more deserving of this honor than the soldiers. I heard this morning on MSNBC that this was one of the few years that there hadn't been much dissonance when choosing who to put on the cover.
