Description
It was the middle of summer recess, and he couldn't be there to enjoy the last summer before his little girl ventured off for her first day of school. In fact, he wasn't likely to be there for that first day either. There were obligations he made which were going to keep him away; but they were obligations he made long ago, and obligations he knew were still necessary today as he stood watch in some hostile foreign desert.
Since he couldn't be there, her mom didn't want him to be so far away from home and not be able to see the joy on his daughter's face as she enjoyed a trip to the beach on her last summer before school. She also wanted him to know that he was thought of constantly and they eagerly awaiting his return home for good.
I don't believe that we should only remember those who serve, or have served our country only on those days designated for doing so; but believe we should be mindful of their dedication and sacrifice daily.
Thank you for viewing tonight, and to those of you who have also served our country, a special thank you for your service.
I hope you all have a good week.

superb render and background
Excellent render and dedication. Personally a thanks. I served 22+ years on active duty and reserves. Not only do we need to honor our servicemen, but also the families that endure back home. They sacrifice too.
Excellent family photo !
A wonderful thought... as well as great render!
Great image and words!
Lovely render :)
Very friendly words and image, but technical viewing I do mis a shadow of the two.
I enjoy your insights into everday America and heck, life where ever, You honor the everyday existance of the ordinary and shine light on the beauty of just being. I repect so much that you do not use stunning models but rather look for the plus size that typifies most Americans. You are doing very well here, thank you for that.
Amazing image and dedication!!!
Adorable scene... Marvelous creation !
Fine rendering, composition and words in this nice beach concept. Although I'm tempted, I am reluctant to say anything about the mother's swimwear, what there is of it.
Great job!
