Designed by artist Chris Broz, the "Line of Sight" logo shows a photo made by former staff photographer M. Scott Mahaskey of Staff Sgt. Shannon Kay engaged in a firefight with enemy forces in Mosul, Iraq. Some skeptics have suggested that the photo was doctored. With this blog, now many years later, the record can finally be set straight: Having lived that moment, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Staff Sgt Kay, during a hail of bullets and mortars...I can assure you that the moment was VERY real. For this day that I proudly witnessed, Staff Sgt. Kay was awarded the Silver Star.
