I am completely honored that I was able to photograph the third "Salute To Our Heroes" event put on by the Cy-Fair Educational Foundation this past Saturday night. I know some of you may be here looking for those photos, and I wanted to let you know you'll be able to see them all here within a week or two.
The guest speaker for the evening was Colonel Bruce "Snake" Crandall, who you might have heard of once or twice before. He's been awarded the Medal Of Honor for his actions in the Battle of Ia Drang, and you can read his thoughts on the movie "We Were Soldiers" right here. There were quite a few men that served with him in Vietnam to surprise him at the event also!
I was also able to witness the Missing Man ceremony and the presentation of the 1st Lieutenant Jeremy Ray Peace and Service Award. It was a very special night.
Here's just a couple of photos from the evening, and I'll be sharing more soon.
Me with Colonel Crandall - We were going to take a photo just like everyone else requesting one...
he just hugged me and laughed and smiled.
