Army Spec.Joseph Riley,KIA,Laid to Rest 6/12/2014

  Army Spec.Joseph Riley ,27,was laid to rest today in Grove city Ohio. He was killed by a suicide bomber, on Nov. 24, in Kabul Afghanistan . I was honored to capture some of the moments today with my lens. I cant explain with words the feeling of a service like this. I did not want to capture the typical photos of the Honor Guard firing the volley,or the Trumpeter playing taps. If I had wished to capture those images I would have needed to fly, with all the traffic of the hundreds that attended. 
  I would like to dedicate this entry to Spec.Joseph Riley, and his entire Family. I hope the pictures I took today help's you all find peace, and comfort in the sacrifice made by your entire family. I provided a family member with my contact information if you would like to have them emailed to you.I thank you for the honor of allowing me to photograph this sad day for all of you .
