As you may have read in past blogs or stories, Sandusky Register staff photographer Luke Wark is a member of the Army National Guard and has been called to serve his country in Afghanistan.

His deployment ceremony was yesterday in Canton and even Luke, who prefers to stay on the non-lens side of the camera, wasn't able to escape the media covering the event.

Luke is the eighth guy in line in the above photo by Scott Heckel of the Canton Repository. You can see more photos and a story about the deployment ceremony by clicking HERE.

Wark and his father were also interviewed by a local television station covering the event. Watch the video in the player below.
