Operation Iraqi Freedom, Fallen Heroes, Iraq War 03/19/03

Missions & Blogs

These are some of my personal missions for our veterans and our fallen heroes.

I attend the funerals and photograph them for free for the family with consent.

I started doing this in 2003 after the war started.

If you like what I'm doing and can help, Please Click Button Below or Here..

 

As of 10/04/08 I will have attended 274 funerals/memorial related missions. (It's more than that and doesn't count the many welcome home missions). 

The CD has snapshots of the event and I try to cover as much as possible or allowed with the equipment I have. I create a visual record that can be passed on to the next generation, especially to the ones too young to know now.

I try to take as many photos as possible, depending on the situation and conditions and then over the next day crop and size them.
