Default Portraits for families who are in the service

Found this link where you as the photographer would offer to do a free portrait of a family whose loved one is overseas. They will provide the portrait for free to the family and the person who is serving. I signed up

Looks like it's all through the month of September. When you sign up you can even put your available hours by day.

We're already helping with oplove.org but we might have some openings in September that we can help with this project.

That's a great service to provide. Being a ex-Navy vet, I'd love to jump on the bandwagon, but.......We have Naval Station Kitsap, Bangor Sub BAse, Lindian Head Weapons Center, Keyport testing center, Naval Hospital Bremerton, Ft, Lewis Army Base, McCord Air Force Base, Naval Station Everett, US Coast Guard Headquarters Seattle, and a crapload of USA, USAF and Naval Reserve Units, ships and subs. I'd be busy doing free work until hell froze over. But I could figure out a way, somehow.
