Default Lest we forget

This was taken at my sons passing in parade - my almost first attempt at using aperture to make the background blurry and my first try at posting on here

any constructive criticism more than welcome Please be kind to me LOL

I thought he looked so proud of all his junior soldiers

Great shot.
As a military brat and vet the solemn express on his face is a reminder of why we served.

Hi Jackie, and welcome to the DPS family. Oh yes, he does look proud, and I am sure has every right to. We all owe so much to men like him and his boys. And the DOF looks great, you captured him real well here. Hope to see lots more of your work in the future. God bless. PAUL
