Pictures of Home: Stephanie Goddard uses photography to show appreciation for deployed soldiers
Sunday, November 6, 2011
Stephanie Goddard has never been to boot camp or worn a military uniform, but she's serving her country the best way she knows how: with her photography. Through her "Glimpse of Home" project, Goddard takes photos of military families at no charge, then creates a personal photo album to send to their deployed soldier as a surprise. She sends each album in a flat-rate shipping box along with a Bible devotional, candy, drawings from the soldier's children, playing cards -- anything to lift that soldier's spirit and remind him of home.
