PHOTO OF THE MORNING

By Michelle Malkin · June 16, 2006 08:35 AM

Time.com: Utah State grad Christina Lakey carries a cardboard cutout of her deployed husband, Army Reserve Spc. Benjamin Lakey, who's in Afghanistan.
Reader Dave C. e-mails:

MM -- Here's a fantastic photo I hope you'll consider for your website (even w/ the best of MSM exposure, it could use more): The grad is my brother's squadmate's wife, and it's powerful to see her hand touching "his" as she carries his memory, current welfare, and future hopes confidently forward. It's a picture that represents all that the best Americans are fighting for, more and more meaningful the more you look at it. Strength & Honor!! Dave Chiu
