Periodically, we’ll be sharing favorite homeland security-related photos we’ve come across. These photos won’t necessarily be the newest or the most newsworthy, or in any kind of chronological order, or even an equal representation of each Department of Homeland Security component. They are photos that sometimes depict important events, sometimes illustrate the everyday service of men and women in DHS, and sometimes just struck us as being great compositions or arresting images.
