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.
