Meet Mia, an adorable little puppy that I had the opportunity to photograph while doing a pet shoot at Concord Pet Food & Supply in Smyrna, DE to help raise funds for an animal rescue group. All proceeds went to the rescue group and 5×7 prints were provided by the local Walgreens so that customers could take a print home with them.
A huge thanks to Walgreens for donating the prints and to Concord Pets for selecting me for their photography needs to perform the fund raising effort.
DOVER — A memorial to Kent Countians lost in the Korean War will be dedicated at the Kent County Veterans Memorial Park on South Little Creek Road, Dover, at 2 p.m. on July 27.
“That date was chosen because it will be the 61st anniversary of the cease-fire between North and South Korea after three years of conflict,” said Joe Startt Jr., president of Kent County Chapter 850, Vietnam Veterans of America. Chapter 850 will conduct the ceremony. More than 36,500 Americans lost their lives in that conflict.
