Air Nat'l Guard Leaving Baltimore's Harbor Place

Sunday, May 3, 2015, the Air National Guard is heading home after being called up to help protect Baltimore during the week-long troubles after Freddie Gray died in police custody. This video was shot and edited as a historical document, and to show people today what it was like in the Baltimore Inner Harbor as the heavy week wound down. It is also done to show those who don't know what the place is like what it is like. In particular, the families and friends of the National Guard troops, who don't know what it is like, can see where the place of duty was that took the guard members away from home for awhile. Also, it was done for the members of the guard there to look back on in years to come. I did my best to get the face of every member on the video. Ever since I was a U.S. Army photographer in 1969-71, I've loved producing photographic memories for armed forces personnel. And everyone.
