Special events - Operation Homefront
Special events April 7th. 2008, 11:11amI have to admit that I wanted to do something for our Canadian soldiers, but did not know what to do. When this opportunity came, I could not refuse. I had the honour to shoot military families this past weekend in order for the soldiers to get photographs for Mother’s and Father’s day.
I did not know what the lives of the soldiers are like nor for the families. That specific day that I helped out I got a firm education about what happens. These soldiers and the families are extremely brave and strong in this time of war overseas in Afghanistan and Iraq. Many of the families that I photographed were very pleased with what we were doing. They also were looking forward to seeing their loved ones coming home.
So, there are no pics to show as I do not want to spoil on which soldier is getting an image. I simply say to the Canadian soldiers.
“Come home, safe and sound. Your familes and friends miss you very much!”
Thank you for thinking of us and offering your services. It meant a lot to us
