Added to the image is text from a Meet The Press appearance by Ret. Gen. Colin Powell:
 * "...his name was Kareem Rashad Sultan Khan, and he was an American. He was born in New Jersey. He was 14 years old at the time of 9/11, and he waited until he [could] serve his country, and he gave his life."


 * --Colin Powell, October 19, 2008

(The word "could" in Powell's quote was originally "can go")
