Frantic emails from clients are pretty common in my line of work. Last minute cancellations, quick turn around times, and even location changes are pretty par for the course when it comes to these last minute jobs.

Such was the case when the USO came calling, and I was happy to step in last minute and help a great organization and a very grateful family.

Army 1st Lieutenant Beau McNeff surprised his family when he showed up at NBC Studios in Rockefeller Center here in NYC. His wife, Cecilia, mother, Jude and his children were thrilled to finally have him home.

1st Lieutenant McNeff also met his infant daughter, Alexandra for the first time.

My image of the McNeff family with the new USO President, Dr. J.D. Crouch II appeared in On Patrol Magainze, the official magazine of the USO.

The USO is a great organization, and as the son of two retired Navy parents, I know how much they do for military families around the world. It was an honor being able to document such an important moment for Beau and his family.
