Thanks for posting Casey’s photos, Jason. And Casey, thanks for shadowing us throughout that eventful day at the WWII Memorial, the Vietnam Wall & sculpture and Arlington National Cemetery with the Tomb of the Unknown. You captured some special moments. It was a beautiful Spring day in DC with lots of tourists stopping to thank Mike and his veteran companions for their service.

These pictures are such a treasure for us as we imagine how both Jodi and Mike were making memories. Thanks to all who made this possible, and especially to Casey. We all get to be a small part of the event due to Casey’s many photos.
