The day after. Sept. 12, 2001. Firefighters lower a flag next to where highjacked American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon, killing all 64 people on the plane and 125 people in the building. Remembering the victims. @cntrforcreativephoto @improvambassador @nickkennerly @j_kennerly @katiemeitayy @jimstavridis @petesouza @wapokp @mikebarnicle
I was in Washington, D.C. on 9-11 and took this from the Newsweek bureau across the river right after highjacked American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon, killing all 64 people on the plane and 125 people in the Pentagon. Remembering the victims. @cntrforcreativephoto @improvambassador @petesouza @nickkennerly @j_kennerly @katiemeitayy @wapokp @stefcutter
Today is the 23rd anniversary of the attack that brought down the twin towers of the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001. I was in the helicopter with President Gerald R. Ford when he flew by them on America’s Bicentennial, July 4, 1976. Remembering the victims of 9-11. @cntrforcreativephoto @sfbpanda @improvambassador @nickkennerly @j_kennerly @petesouza @bob_ahern @charlie_j_sykes @pete_mauney

The wonderful actor and stellar person James Earl Jones died yesterday at 93. I took this book cover for his autobiography in 1992. Among many of his accomplishments JEJ will be remembered as the voice of #darthvader and for his emotional performance in #fieldofdreams He also gave me a blurb for my website saying, “David Hume Kennerly is like Forrest Gump except he was really there.” The guy was also funny! The world has lost a great human. @cntrforcreativephoto @dawnkbrockett @improvambassador @nickkennerly @j_kennerly @katiemeitayy @utnicky @petesouza @wapokp @helenhunt @jeffreynordling @chao_time @ruck.alan @spencergarrett1 @danabashcnn
I remember the uneasy feeling of being watched. @davidburnettfoto observes me on Ngo Duc Ke Street in Saigon, 1972. @photographersphotographed @pfbentley @improvambassador @nickkennerly @j_kennerly @katiemeitayy @mark_leibovich @petesouza @cntrforcreativephoto @elianelaffont @coise43 @stephenwilkes @yamashitaphoto @utnicky @pulitzerprizes
In the room. On this Sunday morning 50 years ago, September 8, 1974, Pres. Gerald R. Ford signed the pardon of Richard Nixon in the Oval Office. He then repaired to his legislative liason Bill Timmon’s office to get the feedback. It wasn’t good. Here Timmons gives the president reaction from congressmen, many of whom said they supported the pardon, but publicly criticized Ford for doing it. (Sound familiar?). On the left is head speechwriter Bob Hartmann, Counselor Jack Marsh and Chief of Staff Al Haig at right. To the day he died Ford privately justified his pardon of Nixon by carrying in his wallet a portion of the text of Burdick v. United States, a 1915 U.S. Supreme Court case stating that a pardon carries an imputation of guilt and that its acceptance carries a confession of guilt. The pardon cost Ford election as president when he ran against Jimmy Carter in 1976. @fordlibrarymuseum @cntrforcreativephoto @sfbpanda @jeffreytoobinofficial @improvambassador @nickkennerly @j_kennerly @mikebarnicle @petesouza @bobmshrum @bobmcneelyphoto
Happy Birthday @davidburnettfoto We have been pals for over 50 years. Took this in Saigon when he was a mere 25. Even though Dave is six months older than me he doesn’t look a day over 78, and in fact isn’t at this moment, tomorrow, yes. . . Glad that we are still in the game, those photos keep rolling out of our photographic implements. @irisburnett @utnicky @sfbpanda @improvambassador @davidbutow @kaylalindquist @billfrakes @joannapinneo @petesouza @markpetersonpixs @pfbentley @coise43 @mswontheroad @stephenwilkes @joangramatte @crowleygraph @davidturnley @reneecbyer @sandra.eisert @barbarakinney @whipplc @catherinekarnow @DavidDeVoss @bobmcneelyphoto @bobmcneelyphoto @ @amivitale @brucewtalamon @gerdludwig @gerdludwig @billpierce9167 @danwintersphoto @danafinemanphotography
All in the family. My pic of the latest Republican @KamalaHarris supporters. Took this in 2021 after @liz.cheney was dumped by her @gop friends from her House leadership post. Liz said she would vote for Harris and today told @mark_leibovich that her dad, former VP Dick Cheney (aka #darthvader), was going to do the same. The ship of state is getting back on course. @stefcutter @whipplc @whipplc @improvambassador @mikebarnicle @bobmshrum @joescarborough @politico @morningjoe @mikabrzezinski @bobmshrum @nickkristof

Going up. So proud of @liz.cheney who endorsed @kamalaharris I’ve known Liz since she was a kid. Unlike most other Republicans she has thrown herself in front of the Trump bus to stop it from rolling over our democracy. She is the definition of a patriot. I took this two years ago after her powerful speech at the @reaganlibrary40 @mikeluckovich @mikebarnicle @improvambassador @nickkennerly @j_kennerly Kennerly @repdingell @kerrykennedyrfk @bobmshrum @jackimages @anseladams @callieshell @allie.plepler @barackobama @michelleobama
