Fallen Marine Returns Home - Photos

I had the privilege to photograph the plane side honors given to a fallen U.S. Marine, returning home to Houston from war, just one day after we all celebrated Independence Day. This was a good reminder what the day is all about.

Very moving images

Fair winds and following seas.

Those are very powerful images. That message that "freedom isn't free" tends to get lost in the BBQ's and beer, so thank you for posting them.

Rest in peace to the fallen soldier.

Semper Fi

Tim, I'm not your typical super patriotic kinda guy (whether it is in my home country, or the country that currently welcomes me: America), but having lost my father just 2 months ago makes me reflect slightly differently on this kind of images. You captured this very well, although I wish you had another kind of gig to attend that day... RIP.

Those are some incredibly powerful images, fair winds and following seas to the fallen Marine.

Incredible images! Thank you for sharing them!

Wow. Well done. Thanks for sharing. Prayers for the fallen hero & his family.
