		With his signature hat, ponytail and unassuming disposition, one might not realize that photographer Eddie Adams covered 13 wars, beginning with a stint as a Marine Corp combat photographer in Korea in the early 1950s and ending in Kuwait in 1991.
		"Eddie's genius is his talent for capturing tension in every photo, whether it be the still of a murder or the animation in the eyes of a movie star," says PARADE Chairman Walter Anderson.
		In 1995, Adams created a photo essay for PARADE of some of "the most amazing, most beautiful children in America." One image — that of a 3-year-old with leukemia, who was photographed with her security blanket — moved one woman so much that she started an organization.
