Jayme Johnson of Moreno Vally, Calif., writes: "This is me and my little brother, Sgt. Bryan Johnson, the day he deployed to Iraq. He is currently serving in the Army's 82nd Airborne Division. He is not due to come home until September 2008. He is a true hero in my eyes for doing the job he does and putting his life on the line every day so that we can be safe."
