I love these. My favorite is the truck driver. My brother is a truck driver, so yeah.

@BlueMex : Yes some rifles (most Ar styles) and some hand guns can fire under water, but due to the density of the water it is pretty ineffective. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MA1IFKwdAQ

I'm currently a special education teacher of preschool/kindergarten kids with disabilities, but I have been a truck driver, and can relate to every cover as part of the average ordinary everyday guys and girls who make America heroic and extraordinary. Even though it's a marketing and merchandizing 'gimmick,' it's great art and a patriotic statement combined.

I like this campaign...I'm glad marvel is campaigning Captain America the way the used to...as a American symbol.

Little joke for you guys...What do you get when Captain America renounces his American citizenship for the world?
Captain Planet

We wouldn't be here without our military @Nephellim, they should always be glorified!!

And those aren't Soldiers, they're Marines. :)

Kewl , but wheres the one for cops? I thought for sure they would be on here. I mean we got figure skaters I thought cops would be an obvious one, just sayin.

But it is a very nice and inspiring idea, DC should do one for Superman.
