When I retired from a life of military service, it was disappointing to see that I hadn't really taken many pictures in uniform.
For my retirement ceremony, I put together a slide show, and I struggled to find decent pictures in every rank.
In fact, both my Father and Step-Father served full careers in the Air Force and Navy, respectively, and I have less than a dozen pictures to prove it. How sad is that?
My adult sons are curious about my service, especially as one of them is starting his own military journey, but it's too late for me.
It doesn't have to be too late for you. Even if you are about to leave the service, take a moment to capture your legacy.
If you are still in uniform, take time to document your journey every year, at every rank. Celebrate Your Service.
