Earlier this year, I photographed a 2017 Army retirement ceremony at the headquarters of the Department of Defense. As a matter of fact, this is a completely new type of event for me to attend. In spite of growing up in northern Virginia, I have never been to the Pentagon except for an elementary school field trip. Indeed, I was excited to get the experience of working in one of the most famous buildings in the world! On this occasion, there was a large number of active military coworkers, and family that were in attendance. The ceremony was a mix of reverence for a successful ending to a career, retirement humor, and family reunion. It was a privilege to be present for such a milestone for someone that served our country with such distinction.

Afterwards, family and friends made plans to meet at the Courtyard Marriott in Woodbridge for a fun reception. Not only did they have a lot of good food and drink, but they had a live band playing all night!
