That's really a great picture. Lots of background stuff going on; the guy hugging his mom to the left with his civilian buddies looking on, the couple behind your family looking out of frame for their hero, the parents behind them congratulating their son. Good stuff!
My daughter has a real eye for photography. I've told her many times how jealous I am of her ability to just snatch a moment in time and frame it so well. She just says its from being on her high school year book staff! I say it's a gift she gives to our family.
