...Three of the soldiers on your recent cover were killed in the battle for Iwo Jima. Your alteration of this photograph devalues their sacrifice and that of many others. At this time when so many families receive a folded flag in honor of their fallen loved ones, your cover is truly offensive. Richard Putney, Richmond...
...Image Problems I am a retired marine, and I would love to hear you explain to the survivors of the campaign on Iwo Jima just why you had to use "our photo" with a tree [April 28].

Three of the soldiers on your recent cover were killed in the battle for Iwo Jima, their deaths as poignant and selfless today as they were in 1945 [April 28]. Your alteration of this photograph devalues their sacrifice and that of many others. In this time of war, when so many families are receiving a neatly folded flag in honor of their fallen loved ones, your cover is truly offensive. Have we as a nation become so ungrateful? Richard Putney, RICHMOND...
