A Home Coming~

After many weeks off, settling my own family into our new lives here in Germany... tonight the camera came out to work. Well, it didn't really feel like work, as I was honored to be in attendance at the Home Coming of the 8th Medical Logistics Battalion, and the 64th Veterinary Detachment.
It was amazing! At 11:45pm the air was crisp, with temperatures in the low 30's... but the moral and the enthusiasm was enormously high in the gymnasium on base as families filled the floor to welcome their loved ones home. I stood there in silence, as I imagined how I would feel if it were me. After a long 12 month separation from everything on this earth that I love... how would I be feeling. The tears came, as if I were a part of this big family that I don't even know. Children cheered, parents welled with pride, wives and husbands cried. I loved it!
I thank you Col. and Mrs. Jordan, for asking me to be here and for welcoming me with open arms to my new family and my new home. I will forever be grateful.
Now here are some images from my night~

WELCOME HOME TROOPS!!!!!

We shall never forget... 9/11~

For the second year in a row, DB Images Photography had the pleasure of covering our city's "Freedom Walk" celebration. A celebration of the strength of our nation, our people, our belief in all things fair and just. Even if you don't believe in the war we are fighting right now, we can all remember where we were and what we were doing when the twin towers fell. How we felt. The violation of our freedom, our rights. People died that day. Many more men and women die everyday for the freedom of this country. September 11th will forever be the beginning of the change of America.
Every September 11th nationwide, we come together to remember those lives lost that day. We walk for those who cannot. We talk about that day. We cry. We grow stronger. We are Americans!
I am proud to show another year in images from the city of San Antonio's Freedom Walk. Operation Home front is an organization that I am happy to donate my time and talents to. Thank you Curtis for all your support. Thank you Victoria for getting my images onto the National press. Thank you to those who serve. Thank you God for making me "An American Child!!!"
