My photo in another brochure

I have been lucky enough to have my pictures in several brochures and a few magazines. This is the latest one at Keesler Federal Credit Union. My picture is the big one with the monument and the soldier behind it I believe the one of the flowers is mine also. The cut out in the monument represents out missing soldiers, so I had the idea to have this soldier stand behind and take up the space.

The soldier is 96 yearly Hershel "Woody" Williams and is the last surviving Medal of Honor recipient from the battle of Iwo Jima. He was the guest speaker at the dedication of the Gold Star monument.I was fortunate enough to be asked to photograph the event.
