  • In this video I show you the greatest tractor photograph ever taken. Not kidding. Plus, a tribute to Memorial Day and some special veterans. This one is a little different but I hope you'll give it a shot. The video concludes with some pretty incredible images taken by my son, an Airborne Combat Camera photojournalist in the USAF.
    Also, before any “purists” become irate, I know that Memorial Day honors veterans KIA. I'm taking a bit of creative license here but it is part of the story and so it makes sense to me. If you don't agree I completely understand.

    Chris, Thank you so much for this video. I know how proud you are of your son. The pictures were a look into your family where you came from. I miss my dad as much as you miss yours, and was as proud of him as you were yours. I have more to say but someone must have brought a bunch of onions into the room making it hard to type. Thank You.

    I totally enjoyed your video Sir. My Dad and tractor story is a sad one. My Dad had tractors all his life. He was pulling a small root out of the ground with a chain and his tractor flipped over on top of him and broke his neck. I figure his foot slipped off the clutch. I don't have any pictures, but thanks for sharing your story.
