Back before the interstate highways, a trucker was feeling hungry. He saw a diner ahead and stopped. On the special board was the special...Vegetable Soup with Meat.
The trucker ordered the special with a cup of Joe.
SWAT!
The waitress soon brought a big steaming bowl and a cup of Joe.
The trucker looked at the soup and saw a fly in it.
He told the waitress, "There is a fly in my soup!"
The waitress told the truck driver, "That is the meat."
 
The best people possess a feeling for beauty, the courage to take risks, the discipline to tell the truth, the capacity for sacrifice. Ironically, their virtues make them vulnerable; they are often wounded, sometimes destroyed.

Ernest Hemingway, author and journalist, 1954 Nobel laureate (21 July 1899 - July 2 1961)

He was a WW1 veteran and won a medal for rescuing some Italian troops and a front line war correspondent during the Spanish Civil War and WW2. Just before D-day Hemingway sustained a severe head-wound that required 57 stitches. Still suffering symptoms of the concussion he accompanied troops to the Normandy landings wearing a large head bandage. The military treated him as "precious cargo" and he was not allowed ashore.

The same could be said for Ernie Pyle who was killed in the Pacific reporting.
