Photographer's Narrative

 

I was on temporary duty at Fort A.P. Hill, Virginia, to cover the 2010 National Scout Jamboree, which celebrated the 100th Anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America. Toward the end of the jamboree, Secretary of Defense Robert M. Gates, who was an Eagle Scout, addressed the audience of more than 45,000. After his speech, there was a flyover and that was when I proceeded to take the photo.
