Photographer's Narrative

Members of the U.S. Air Force Honor Guard were training and practiced unloading a casket from a hearse and properly carrying it to the point where it is laid down. They walked in front of the doors of the building and light just hit them and the flag. This  caused them to be partially silhouetted and showed that their movements were all in step and together. The lighting gave it a dramatic effect and brought a sense to the situation that even in training, what they do is taken seriously at all times.
