Customer service. Service Hours. Public service.
But this weekend, I hope you'll take a minute to think about service in a different light. Because service to one's country is in a whole different league than politely smiling while asking "Is everything okay with your order?".
On Veteran's Day, we honor those who SERVED. Who sacrificed. Who gave of their time, their talent, and in many cases their own lives.
A few weeks ago, some of my students had the honor of photographing a funeral service for a homeless veteran. It was humbling. Sobering. And made me very proud to be an educator on a military installation.
Hunter Duplessis returned with this photo entitled "The Debt That All Men Pay".
It's a beautiful, but haunting, reminder of the tens of thousands of men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect the freedoms we so often take for granted.
Hunter, Jenna Linan, and Antoinnette Barnes all brought back amazing images capturing the pride, honor, and sacrifice of our military service members. As you look through them today, take a minute to remember those who bring the true meaning of service to our nation.
