Ready for Deployment

My husband has recently deployed with a Port Security Unit to the Middle East. And on Sunday, 30 November 2008, the unit he deployed with had a picnic for the members and their families at the Coast Guard Air Station in San Diego. As he was standing on the stern of a cutter, I was able to get this photo of him.





After my husband moved away from the spot on the stern, I captured this photo of a Coast Guard PSU member and his beautiful daughter posing for a family member. Out of all the "family photos" I took, this one is definetly my favorite. It was the 'Featured Photo' on the Coast Guard homepage today.



I just love the way the flag is blowing in the background on both pictures.
