20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest People
Family with their new Naval Aviator

The day this photo was taken, my older brother was awarded his Wings of Gold at Naval Air Station Whiting Field after completing years of rigorous training to become a helicopter pilot for the US Navy. He gave the family a tour of the entire base, including the hangar where this golden moment was captured. The day was filled with joy and love as we celebrated by brother's accomplishment.
