Chet Retires at Quantico

On July 31, 2012 we were honored to attend the retirement ceremony of Master Gunnery Sergeant Corey Shafer. After nearly 22 years of service in the United States Marine Corps, the positive impact Chet Shafer has had on his family, his country, and his fellow servicemen was evident. My goal was to capture the immense tradition, the unwavering love of the Shafer family, and the great deal of emotions wrapped up in this very special day.  We wish the Shafer family the best as they close this chapter of their lives and begin a new journey together.
