welcome home USS Halsey!





"In prison, I fell in love with my country. I had loved her before then, but like most young people, my affection was little more than a simple appreciation for the comforts and privileges most Americans enjoyed and took for granted. It wasn't until I had lost America for a time that I realized how much I loved her. "

John McCain

Faith of my Fathers









thank you so much to marcy and ava for allowing me to experience this amazing event with them as they waited so patiently for this reunion! i feel so lucky that i was able to experience such a stunning home coming! words can't begin to express what it felt like to see those new dads hold their babies for the first time. i hope to be able to capture more of these reunions because i'm sure this patriotic feeling only gets stronger!
