Emilio Morenatti, Honored and Recovered – Lens

This has been the week for Emilio Morenatti.

And, surely, he has earned a good week. On assignment with The Associated Press in southern Afghanistan last August, Mr. Morenatti was badly injured when a vehicle in which he was riding was struck by a roadside bomb. Andi Jatmiko, an A.P. videographer, and two soldiers from the Army’s Fifth Stryker Brigade were also injured in the blast. One of those soldiers crawled out of the vehicle and applied a tourniquet to Mr. Morenatti. All four were then evacuated by helicopter.
