Other Finalists in the 2016 Capturing Memorial Day Photo Contest

The 2016 Capture Memorial Day Photo Contest asked both amateur and professional photographers to submit the photos they believed best represented the spirit of Memorial Day. There is no question that all the entries accomplished this objective. After our judges narrowed the field down to 15 finalists, we were left with a wide range of beautiful and touching photos.

While public voting left us with four winners, we believe that all of the finalist photos are worthy of display. We invite you to browse through our gallery of finalists. While these pictures may not have garnered enough votes to win, they certainly represent what we hoped to accomplish with the contest; to honor those who have fallen in service to our country.
