Tominator Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Based on the rolled eyes, I'm going to guess someone who's not really military. Marilyn Monroe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerClay Posted March 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Another Clue - The Wikipedia definition of icon. An icon (from Greek εἰκών, eikōn, "image") is an image, picture, or representation; it is a sign or likeness that stands for an object by signifying or representing it, or by analogy, as in semiotics; by extension, icon is also used, particularly in modern popular culture, in the general sense of symbol — i.e. a name, face, picture, edifice or even a person readily recognized as having some well-known significance or embodying certain qualities. one thing, and image or depiction, that represents something else of greater significance through literal or figurative meaning, usually associated with religious, cultural, political, and economic standing.

wtnhunt Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Dont know Joe. Think Colin Powell was born in the late 1930's, that would not put him old enough to be in the military in 1952. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
