Picture of the Day - 3

(It's the caption that got me.)

Two-year-old Jayrill Lopez, wearing homemade fatigues, looks at the coffin of his father, U.S. Army Sgt. Jason Lopez Reyes, while standing by his grandmother Gladys Reyes, who sobs softly wearing a T-shirt that reads: 'Jason, hero of my heart', during Lopez's burial in Hatillo, Puerto Rico, Wednesday, Jan. 18, 2006. Lopez died of wounds sustained Jan. 5 when a roadside bomb exploded near his convoy on the outskirts of the Iraqi capital, Baghdad. At least 47 Puerto Rican soldiers have died in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars since 2001. (AP Photo/Andres Leighton)
