The coffin of United States Army Sgt. Kenneth VonRonn sits inside a hearse as members of his 101st Calvary Army Reserve Unit walk by in Pine Bush, New York, January 15, 2005. VonRonn was killed on January 6 when his Bradley armored personnel carrier was struck by a bomb about 20 miles northwest of Baghdad. Six other soldiers died in the same attack.

3. It's just the link to the Yahoo page

Sometimes their page URL's end in jpg and you have to break the link so it will display here, which I just did.
