Zachary Boyd was resting when they were suddenly attacked so he didn't have time to put on his pants. His family has good humor. They look so young.
Army Specialist Boyd phoned home to warn his family in Texas that the photo was about to appear on the front page of the New York Times.
"It was typical. He has always been an interesting little character," said his mother, Sheree.
"He said: 'I hear the Times is what they put on the president's desk'," she said.
"Then he told us: 'I may not have a job anymore after the president has seen me out of uniform'." LT
