I’m a veteran.  And from a big family of veterans.    So, perhaps I’m more aware of veterans events.    But I don’t think so.   The 21st century societal view of veterans is more visible and supportive than the past.   It’s a good thing.  

As a photographer I’ve been called on many occasions to support programs and capture “the essence” of the event.   Wow.   What an honor.    So as we approach Veterans Day, here’s a few of my favorites from this past summer.
