This last week Jake Tyra had his officer commissioning into the Marine Corp. I had the honor of photographing this admirable achievement for his family as he received his ranks of 2nd Lieutenant. The whole family was involved in presenting his bars, hat, and saber. Such an incredible moment for him and his family. You can see how proud his family is of his accomplishments, and rightly so.
Jake's niece, sweet Annabella, kept her hand on her heart during the National Anthem. Thankfully, I was able to catch a quick pic of it as she peeked around her grandma to see me.
After his oath, his Mom and Dad proudly presented him with his rank bars.
Next, big brother Jeremy presented and aligned his uniform hat and sister-in-law Daria, who is in the Navy, had the privilege to give Jake his first solute.
And last but surely not least, big sister Heather helped present his saber.
2nd Lieutenant Jake Tyra
What a great family!
And a really fun group willing to play along. :)
Some of Jake's commanding officers came out to the after party to help celebrate. Congratulations Jake!
