Wounded Warrior

Sometimes you see a scene that touches your heart and you feel invasive for taking the photo but you want to record the moment. This man with a wheelchair, his son and wife were at San Onofre Beach which is part of Camp Pendleton Marine Base.

 

I think the part that hurt was seeing the son covering up his legs with sand just as his dad did. And seeing the paddleboarders standing up right out in front of them.

 

Unfortunately or fortunately, there are quite a few wheelchairs on this particular stretch of beach, just down from the surfers.

 

Semper Fi.
