There are dozens of non-profit organizations out there that support our Armed Forces and there are only a small few that I endorse on my blog. As I was checking in on FB and twitter this evening, I noticed that there were a couple of long and overdue homecomings. As I read everyone's statuses, I was reminded of OPLOVE.
OPERATION LOVE REUNITED is it's fullname and it's a 501(c)3 Non-Profit organization. All proceeds go directly to running the organization that supports military families. Still confused? Here's a excerpt form their website explaining who they are,
The last thing on your mind when your wife or husband arrives home after a 4 to 18 month tour, is capturing all this love– on film.
Most people are so overwhelmed with emotions they forget to simply point and shoot the camera they are grasping of their child’s first hug,
or that single tear of relief from a mother being able to hold her twenty year old son again.
With the help of Operation: Love ReUnited and local photographers near your base, you can.
What I love most about OPLOVE is that it gives photographers a chance to help military families by doing something they love most...photography! Whether you're looking for a photographer to shoot your next homecoming or you're a budding photographer wanting to contribute to a great cause...this is the one.
Once I hone my photography skills and get my lenses, I would love to volunteer my time to shoot homecomings. I just need to make sure I pack a tissue box in my camera bag. These events always make me tear up.
