Every photojournalism portfolio should contain a photo story (a group of photographs that tell one cohesive story). This is my photo story from an event I covered on May 17, 2008 at the Army Heritage and Education Center (or AHEC) in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. It is an event that is free for the public to attend and I try and go every year with my husband since it is always a great event filled with wonderful photo opportunities. These are my favorites from that day.

An Army member parachuted from a plane and landed at
the event.
Honored guests take a photograph with this military veteran.
That same veteran was taken around the living history
event and is seen here being introduced to a
re-enactor's horse.
A key part of the event was a video teleconference
with General David Patraeus, Commanding General
of the Multi-National Force in Iraq, while he was in Iraq.
