WASHINGTON -- Three 1st Armored Division soldiers -- Sgt. Ronald Buxton, Spc. Billie Grimes and Sgt. Marquette Whiteside -- graced the cover of Time magazine Dec. 22. They represent "The American Soldier" -- all men and women in uniform -- who have been chosen as Time's 2003 Person of the Year.

"For uncommon skills and service, for the choices each one of them has made and the ones still ahead, for the challenge of defending not only our freedoms but those barely stirring half a world away, the American soldier is Time's Person of the Year," editor-at-large Nancy Gibbs wrote in the opening essay of the magazine.

"By naming the American soldier as Person of the Year, we're using that term in its broadest sense, to stand for all of those in a U.S. uniform who go in harm's way, including (sailors, airmen and Marines)," managing editor Jim Kelly wrote in a letter to readers.

The magazine cover is a "fitting tribute to these young men and women who have volunteered to serve their country and are over there doing a superb job," said Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Richard B. Myers.

Time officials said the magazine's naming of a Person of the Year recognizes "the person or persons who most affected the news and our lives, for good or for ill, and embodied what was important about the year, for better or for worse."
