The Focus on Valor Project
Portraits of Veterans
Honoring Their Service and Sharing Their Stories
The Focus on Valor Project is a community service project in partnership with the American Legion of Castle Rock.
Bryer Pyeatte will be a 2025 graduate of Rock Canyon High School and will be doing this project with the help of Danielle Pyeatte (mother/photographer) to accomplish.
This project is dedicated to honoring our Veterans.
Through this complimentary initiative, we proudly present each Veteran with a personal portrait, accompanied by an interview to preserve their invaluable stories and experiences for future generations.
