Memorial Day Pictures
From: Sally
My nana, Gloraba Standley, was a nurse in World War I and served in the operating rooms in France. Her nickname was Glory. My father, Henry Reed, served in the Korean War and has been past commander of the American Legion Post in Mt. Healthy, Ohio. Dad marched in the parade then gave the prayer at the ceremony at the Veteran’s Memorial in Mt. Healthy over by the swimming pool in front of all the people who marched that day. He did a good job. I am very proud of my family and every other family that has members of their family who serve in the United States Military. This is why my company honors veterans, and also every day offers a military discount on portraits from my studio.

*I just want to add, that these are beautiful images, and I appreciate my friend Jefferson sharing them with us. If you love these photos as much as I do leave Jefferson a note on the blog.
