Fort Myer, Virginia

Last October, I photographed a 2017 Army Retirement Ceremony at Fort Myer. Although I have lived close by in northern Virginia, I have never attended this ceremony before. Obviously, I was more than a little nervous since I did not know what to expect. Firstly, just getting to the event site took some time since this is an active military base. The boundaries of the base are up against Arlington, Virginia, but this is a secured facility that had strict entry procedures. Once inside the base, the biggest crowd of people and visitors was going to this ceremony, so I followed the crowd.

Thankfully, I was referred this event by a previous client. It is impossible not to feel pride in your country while attending this ceremony. Viewing the professionalism, and dedication of active service members while in their home base shows their detailed preparation in all their tasks. Moreover, the retirees should be proud of their hard work that they put in service to our nation. Best of luck in your next opportunities!
