Capitals Salute the Military 2015

Tonight was the Capitals’ 13th annual Salute to the Military Night at Verizon Center, one of our favorite games of the year to cover. While the final score wasn’t the desired result, there was still plenty to cheer for as men and women who have served our country in the armed forces were honored all night long by the Washington Capitals. We documented the events of the evening in the collection of photographs below :
