Hey everyone,
Patrick here. For those of you wondering why this page has not been active since 2019, it was a culmination of the pandemic happening and me not being able to visit veterans to keep them safe and my wife and I brought two little humans into the world all while I’m helping to build a business. So it’s been a very hectic, busy and trying 4 years.
With that said, it’s very expensive to keep this website operating each year, so please considering donating some money to help me keep this archive online. Thank you!
Here’s a photograph I took of three 101st and three 82nd Airborne veterans in The Netherlands while I was the photographer for The Best Defense Foundation for two years, returning to the battlefields of Europe and the Pacific with the veterans who fought there.
