I know the majority of these are repeats, but Brooke Ashley sent me the rest of the photos, so I thought I’d share them with you (again) in order.
Brooke is part of an organization called Operation:Love ReUnited, a program comprised of photographers all across the country who capture the emotional goodbyes before a deployment and unforgettable homecomings.

Luckily, there are photographers who actually want to capture those moments.
