What Patrick does best, is telling you a story through his images. Sure, there are plenty of photographers out there but you see Patrick is a little different, he's not interested in just snapping photographs, he wants to build a story that no one will forget. And in building this story, well that's when Patrick really gets to work. Taking what started as an idea, Patrick skillfully crafts what he has captured in the camera into a one-of-a-kind visual creation that grabs hold of your imagination in a truly remarkable way. Telling stories, that's what Patrick does best.
May God bless you all in the almighty name of Yeshua ha'Moshiach, amen! ❤ call on the name of Yeshua ha'Moshiach, and He will answer. He DIED for YOU so that YOU may have ETERNAL LIFE with HIM. Turn from your sin and trust and follow Him with all your heart and soul. He took the penalty for sin of the world upon Himself so that WE may have everlasting life with God almighty. To be separated from God is death. Death is the penalty for sin. Please take this free gift of eternal life that God has offered us in the almighty name of his son, Yeshua/Jesus. He loves us more than we can fathom. We are HIS children created in HIS image. I am spreading the love of Yeshua by loving YOU! I am telling this because I love you and won't want you to suffer now or in eternity. Love you all forever ❤
Very nice, I was rooting for the guy in the green. He should’ve been more mobile. I’ll be sure to always attend these type of events whenever I can to the best of my abilities. Thanks to all the US veterans. God bless you all. I hope you find peace here on Earth and in the afterlife.
Thank you for your service in Vietnam Mr. Hughes. I’ve had the honor of talking to a couple of Vietnam veterans, a couple of them owned houses and I was going to work on one of this guy’s house and we just ended up talking about some stuff, I noticed that he had a jacket and hat on that says Vietnam Veteran and I talked to him about some parts of the war but he had served around 69 until the end, so I didn’t knew about the areas he served in and I had to research it when I got one, he was a very nice Hispanic man, wise, and funny. I remembered from watching movies and reading articles about Marines and the term they used, Semper Fi and I told it to the gentleman and he replied, “Do or die!” I wish I had talked to him some more. We had to go sadly because he was going to prepare dinner and have some friends over and we didn’t had the tools to work on this area of his house. My friend had forgotten them. He owned acres with a lovely wife and a dog. He had asked me to rub and scratched her belly. Because I like dogs and also because he was a soldier, I gladly did that for him because he was also doing some renovations on another part of his house. Another was homeless, he had asked me about my race and said if I was Vietnamese and I said yeah, he said he has done some terrible things and that our people were nice people and he regretted it. I told him , I don’t blame you for doing what you did at all. You did something extraordinary and that I thank you for your service. Unfortunately, I was just passing by so I didn’t ask him where did he served, he was my first encounter. That’s when I first had got into reading about the war, it’s so much information I still haven’t researched it all. I will do that. You guys are heroes, very courageous, the bravest people to walk this Earth. I salute you sir and you guys are an inspiration for people like me that appreciates not only history, but the US Armed Forces. You deserve to honored everyday. You all will be remembered and when the last of you are gone, you will be sorely missed. Thank you for sacrificing blood, swear, tears and putting your life on the line for me and my parents country. - a Vietnamese American from Houston, Texas that respects and admired the military.
Thanks for your kind words. It means a Lot. We were just kids, doing what Our Government told us was the right thing to do to Protect Vietnam Freedoms along with Ours! God Bless, #NeverForget #NeverQuit
Daddy served during the Korean Conflict. He told me about sleeping on the ground, without covering, and waking with snow blanketing them. Men had ice around their mouths and nostrils. He was in charge of communications for his unit. He had enemy fire when setting up their systems.
Those of The Greatest Generation, are all heroes, and Hershel Woodrow "Woody" Williams was a hero to those heroes. May you rest in peace Woody, A grateful nation salutes you. Taps : Day is done, gone the sun, From the lake, from the hills, from the sky; All is well, safely rest, God is nigh. Fading light, dims the sight, And a star gems the sky, gleaming bright. From afar, drawing nigh, falls the night. Thanks and praise, for our days, 'Neath the sun, 'neath the stars, neath the sky; As we go, this we know, God is nigh. Sun has set, shadows come, Time has fled, Scouts must go to their beds Always true to the promise that they made. While the light fades from sight, And the stars gleaming rays softly send, To thy hands we our souls, Lord, commend.
Love it when the Marines lift the casket high ! God bless all in our military and the ones who have given their lives. Beautiful ceremony for the Lieutenant.
HERSHEL WOODROW "WOODY" WILLIAMS (official citation below) ALSO KNOWN AS: WILLIAMS, WOODY RANK: CORPORAL (HIGHEST RANK: CHIEF WARRANT OFFICER FOUR) CONFLICT/ERA: WORLD WAR II UNIT/COMMAND: HEADQUARTERS COMPANY, 1ST BATTALION, 21ST MARINES, 3D MARINE DIVISION MILITARY SERVICE BRANCH: U.S. MARINE CORPS RESERVE MEDAL OF HONOR ACTION DATE: FEBRUARY 23, 1945 MEDAL OF HONOR ACTION PLACE: IWO JIMA, VOLCANO ISLANDS CITATION For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty as demolition sergeant serving with the 21st Marines, 3d Marine Division, in action against enemy Japanese forces on Iwo Jima, Volcano Islands, 23 February 1945. Quick to volunteer his services when our tanks were maneuvering vainly to open a lane for the infantry through the network of reinforced concrete pillboxes, buried mines, and black volcanic sands, Cpl. Williams daringly went forward alone to attempt the reduction of devastating machine-gun fire from the unyielding positions. Covered only by four riflemen, he fought desperately for four hours under terrific enemy small-arms fire and repeatedly returned to his own lines to prepare demolition charges and obtain serviced flamethrowers, struggling back, frequently to the rear of hostile emplacements, to wipe out one position after another. On one occasion, he daringly mounted a pillbox to insert the nozzle of his flamethrower through the air vent, killing the occupants, and silencing the gun; on another he grimly charged enemy riflemen who attempted to stop him with bayonets and destroyed them with a burst of flame from his weapon. His unyielding determination and extraordinary heroism in the face of ruthless enemy resistance were directly instrumental in neutralizing one of the most fanatically defended Japanese strongpoints encountered by his regiment and aided vitally in enabling his company to reach its objective. Cpl. Williams' aggressive fighting spirit and valiant devotion to duty throughout this fiercely contested action sustain and enhance the highest traditions of the U.S. Naval Service.
I live in USA as a Korean man who immigrated to USA from South Korea as a young child. My life would not be possible without the sacrifices that these brave men endured. They fought for the freedom that I now get to enjoy. With the defeat of Japan, South Korea existed again and became a world leading country. Thank you to all the soldiers for all of your sacrifices.
The Marines take care of their own. My Father a WW2 and Korean War Vet. Bronze Star and Purple Heart. The HONOR GUARD was from the Reserve Unit in VA. RIP DAD. and Pvt Rambo
The saddest video i have ever seen. A 10 year old boy telling everyone that this is his daddys grave and Thankfully having a mom whom is stronger than anyone there. This should show most Americans how big Donald Trumps hearts really is.

What a masterful touch by a president of this nation. Reminded me of President Lincoln's personal touches that history preserves for us to meditate on.
