Event photographer named for Veterans Day celebration
Tom Argiro will be the event photographer for this year's "Outreach To Veterans and Military Families Ministry" annual Veteran's Day celebration.

Phoenix, AZ– Tom Argiro, owner of Tom Argiro Portrait Photography, has been chosen as the event photographer for the annual Outreach to Veterans and Military Families Ministry's annual awards ceremony at the Franciscan Renewal Center, 5802 E Lincoln Drive, Scottsdale, Arizona 85253, (480) 948-7460 from 1PM to 6PM on Sunday, November 10, 2013.

The agenda for the day includes a prayer service with the Phoenix Fire Department's Honor Guard, presentations by Military and Veteran Support Groups, featuring Soldiers Best Friend, children's activities, music by the Phoenician Four, BBQ picnic, retiring the flag ceremony, and a community drum circle by Arizona Rhythm Connections.

“I love helping non-profit organizations, especially those that are supporting our military veterans” said Mr. Argiro. “It’s a chance for me to give back to the community, to those that have been protecting our freedoms.”  Besides event photography for non-profit organizations, Mr. Argiro specializes in family portraits, newborn photography, pet photography, and high school senior sessions.  He also works with other local business owners, helping them strengthen their business networks and connections.

Soldiers Best Friend has the important mission of providing United States military veterans suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) with a trained Service or Therapeutic Companion Dog, most of these dogs of which will be rescued from local shelters.  This is accomplished by pairing the veteran with a rescued dog who then train together until graduation. Their goal is to help war heroes improve in their symptoms of PTSD, adjust back into civilian life, lead a more productive life and help them build self-esteem.  They also help the pet overpopulation problem by helping place shelter or rescue dogs into good homes.  Soldiers Best Friend: 5955 W. Peoria Ave. #6242 Glendale, AZ 85312 Phone 480-269-1738. www.SoldiersBestFriend.org

The Mission of the Outreach to Veterans and Military Families Ministry is to understand more deeply the struggles, hardships and challenges facing service members, their families and veterans; to take concrete actions to assist them; and to advocate for justice on their behalf through a Christ-centered message of healing, hope and acceptance. ovmfministry@gmail.com 602-740-6486
