Two weeks after the battle for Hill 881, she was wounded with a Marine unit in the DMZ." 173rd History Mike Kennedy 07-14-2006, 01:31 PM How very sad. Her style of photojournalism was to be admired. Totally unlike the CNN crowd who "Become" news. Ms.Leroy reminded me of the type of work done by the late Ernie Pyle. Always present without becoming a presence.
