LIBERIA. Monrovia. July 20. 2003. Joseph Duo, a Liberian government commander, exults after firing a rocket-propelled grenade at rebel forces at a key strategic bridge. This became one of Hondros’s most well-known photos, and an iconic image of the Liberian Civil War. Later Hondros returned to Liberia and reconnected with Duo, who was struggling after the war. Hondros arranged to pay for Duo to return to school and finish his education.
