National Memorial Day Parade - May 25, 2009

The American Veteran’s Center asked me to photograph the largest Memorial Day in the country this year and I couldn’t have been happier to say yes to this wonderful opportunity.  With my little brother serving in the Army and my wife and sister-in-law both having served in the military, photographing events like these are no-brainers to me.

These men and women have fought so bravely and deserve our gratitude way more than a few times each year.

The parade passed by the National Archives where I was stationed and it made for a beautiful backdrop along with the giant American Flag draped across an ominous sky.  Have a look!
