Although not a Veteran myself, just a very patriotic American who feels our Brave Veterans should never be forgotten.
I started photographing Veterans Memorials for my New Hampshire Website : www.images-of-new-hampshire-history.com. I am not always able to travel to New Hampshire to photograph memorials there, so I decided to start another Website for Veterans Memorials in Massachusetts.
I grew up in Princeton Massachusetts and shortly after starting this Website, I learned a former Town Manager of Princeton (Dennis Rindone (3/14/1945 - 3/1/2009) also had a passionate quest to photograph all the Veterans Memorials in Massachusetts. Tragically , Dennis passed away prior to publishing a book on his work.
At this point I have 137 Massachusetts towns documented - 214 more to go. I created this website as an effort to show my respect for the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice, paid the price to keep us free. What I admire the most about our Veterans is their bravery and their willingness to sacrifice their time (and sometimes their lives) with family to serve their Country, thinking of others before themselves. This Website is my way of giving back.
I was recently told by a colleague who graduated from West Point in the mid-1970's that some Americans today take their Freedom for granted, I plan to do my part to show this is not the case. Thank you for visiting this Website
