Last week I photographed a pre-Veteran’s Day event in town honoring local vets who have served our country. I recognized quite a few of these gentlemen as they often make the rounds around town but was struck by how many people attended the event. I really wanted to make a photograph that captured some emotion, as in the past it seems when I cover ceremonies like this, I’m always missing it for some reason. This time, I think I came back with a few moments that tell of the respect this community has for veterans and how honored they are to have served.

More high school football soon. State championships tomorrow…
