My folks sent me a write-up from a newspaper about our unit. Note that I had nothing to do with writing this:

They Shoot the War
A new type of soldier has distinguished himself in this war. Armed only with a movie camera, he has cost the enemy whole divisions, saved countless American lives. “The weapon that’s worth 10 divisions,” one high-ranking officer called the camera.... But the camera is only as good as the man behind it. The combat photographer has to be of a special breed. He jumps with the paratroops, raids with the commandos, slogs through the mud with the infantry. Yet he belongs to none of these. He is a lone wolf—daring, resourceful, privileged, and, some think, more than a little crazy.
