Photographer's Narrative

I was still new to the Air Force, and because I’d never seen a Veteran’s Day ceremony before, I had no idea what to expect. I stood waiting with my camera and little notebook and staring at the emcee, when I heard the collective thuds of an entire formation of special operators’ boots striking the pavement nearby. Three individuals broke formation to deliver the flag to the awaiting honor guardsmen. After the ceremony, they all dropped for pushups in honor of those who’ve fallen and their brothers they’ve served alongside throughout the years. They exemplified the idea that we are one team, one fight.
