Mid August Update
I can’t believe where the time has flown. Seems like it was just July and now we’re staring Labor Day and September in the face. I look back at the past several months and realize all the things I have to be thankful for – I have been truly blessed to view and photograph things that many people wouldn’t even dream of doing.
In doing so, I’ve learned just how valuable the contribution our US military has made and continues to make to the United States and allowing us to enjoy what most take for granted.
Over these months, my travels have taken me to Tennessee, Kentucky, Connecticut, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, and many points in Virginia including Fort Meyer, Fort McNair, Fort Belvoir, Fort Monroe near Hampton Virginia and Fort A. P. Hill which is just beyond Fredericksburg.
From the initial contact with The Old Guard’s Guns Platoon over a year ago, research about the honorary salutes bestowed on the military heroes/leaders has been the catalyst in all this travel and now I’ve ended up with a stack of information and photographs that should dazzle the market.
several of the photos are on available on my web pages included in the albums there – www.John-Michael.net
Enjoy those for the time being… more to come soon!
