Veterans Day - Slide Show






Veterans Day is Nov 11th.
You will need to photograph this on Veterans Day!!! 
There are many Veterans Day festivities around the area.
Check your newspaper, internet, Television or call the local Chamber of Commerce or Veterans organization, to find out locations and times.
I know there is a Veterans Day parade in Folsom. Mt Vernon mortuary on Greenback Lane has a special presentation (call for times). The VietNam Memorial also has something going on in the morning.
This is a slide show. I am looking for at least 20 images. Close ups, extreme close ups, wide shots. Put special emphasis on tight detail shots and the veterans themselves.
Music: something appropriate (patriotic theme).
