Photographer's Narrative

 

When I spoke to the Honor Guard Airmen while downrange, they were so happy and excited to be part of the Honor Guard and to help and lend distinction to every event they could. Even after working 12-14 hours a day six days a week these Airmen found the time to give back. I wanted to show their dedication and this silhouette next to a big American flag expressed just that.
