Soldiering Through
Photograph by Joey Jdm, National Geographic Your Shot
Soldiers of the U.S. Armys Fourth Stryker Brigade Combat Team return to their home duty station at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington State after a nine-month tour in Afghanistan.
Your Shot contributor Joey Jdm, a member of the unit, had always wanted to take a photo from this angle inside a C-17 transport plane. When I finally got the chance, I asked one of the crew if I could take some photos, he writes. I wasnt a photographer for the unitI just had my camera at the time and couldnt resist capturing the moment of a lifetime.
