I have been taking photographs of veterans graves at the Florence National Cemetery since January, 2010 as I only live a mile away, I am able to get the photo the same day that it is requested. I enjoy doing this very much, especially for the Veterans as the guys gave their all for this country. They deserve to be remembered in all ways possible.
Thank you veterans for your service.
