I snapped this photo last week as our local National Guard
was deploying to Kuwait for a year of duty.
This young lad tugged at my heartstrings as he held his Dad in a deathgrip.
I posted it on Facebook for all the participants to view and was contacted by
his Mom. Her identification of their son made it even more special.
Please support your local soldiers and their families!!!

ReplyDeleteOur regional National Guard battalion is returning soon after a year in Iraq. There were some similar wonderful images when they deployed. Beautifully done!
ReplyDeleteUgh, I've seen too many of those scenes at deployment ceremonies, but you captured it beautifully here. Let us not forget the sacrifices that are made for us!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful. His eyes are so open - like he is seeing right to me. Even better knowing who he is for you. What a treasure. Praying for all soldiers and their families.
