What resulted was a cover photo of Mr. Snowden, who is considered a traitor by many people in the U.S, clutching an American flag. It drew the ire of some, but instantly became an iconic image.

Men's Health
November, Noah Galloway For 26 years, Men's Health has put famous people on its cover. But for its November issue, it broke from tradition and featured a reader. That reader is Noah Galloway, a war veteran and double amputee, who appears in nothing but a pair of shorts. Putting Mr. Galloway on the cover is reminiscent of Esquire's January 2007 cover with another veteran and amputee Bryan Anderson. And like Mr. Anderson, Mr. Galloway's story is deeply inspirational.
