Quote: “Putting himself in harm’s way, Dean reported on the invasion of Grenada, the Falklands War, and Cuba from the early days of the Castro regime up to the present. He reported on Iran during the hostage crisis, from Somalia during the U.S. intervention, the turmoil in Israel and the Palestinian Territory, and the military action in Kosovo involving U. S. Marines. He covered Saddam Hussein’s Iraq, the NATO air attacks in Belgrade, the terror bomb blast on the USS Cole bombing in Yemen, the bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi, and the U.S. retaliation in Sudan, as well as the first terrorist attacks on World Trade Center in 1993.”
