Boy Scout Memorial

Boy Scout Memorial

So here is the story…

There was a boy scout Casey Akira Murphy who tragically passed away November 11, 2009. Casey is buried at Arlington National Cemetery, Alexandria, VA.  One of Casey’s fellow boy scout’s decided to create a memorial for Casey at the Watchung Stables.  When you first dive into the facilities there is an island of bushes, trees and a flagpole.  It was all overgrown which is not very appealing.  The boy scout decided to redo the entire island landscaping. I was asked to photograph the memorial and newly landscaped island.  This rock and plaque sits a few feet away from the flagpole.

It was an honor to photograph the memorial.
