Famous Face Belongs to Local Man

So says the pop-up accompanying this article in today's Pittsburgh Tribune-Review:

Cpl. Michael Rega Jr., of Mt. Pleasant, is embraced by a thankful Iraqi Wednesday in downtown Baghdad as troops enter the center of the city. "We were just elated," said his mother, Cheryl Rega. "It was wonderful to see him.... I was so glad to see that look on his face - he's liberating those people." The 1999 graduate of Mt. Pleasant Area High School joined the U.S. Army Reserves and is a member of the 305th Psychological Operations unit, based in the Pittsburgh area.

Mt. Pleasant is about 20 miles from where I live.
