His dad, Marine LCPL Carpenter, made the ultimate sacrifice while serving with 3/8 in Afghanistan in 2011, a month before Landon was born. Being a former Marine and a father this photo really touched me. Less than 1% of the American population serves in the military and the sacrifices and hardships they and their families go through should never be taken for granted. Special Thanks to Landon’s mother and Inara Studios for permission to share such a special picture.
