Though it’s certainly had its scandals, the U.S. Secret Service still carries the huge responsibility of protecting U.S. presidents and their families, Chris McGonigal reports on huffingtonpost.com.
Photojournalists like Jacquelyn Martin of The Associated Press get to tag along and photograph the work the service does in the background, McGonigal wrote.
“In my time covering the White House the U.S. Secret Service and its visual alphabet of dark suits, sunglasses and earpieces has fascinated me,” Martin wrote on a recent AP Images Instagram post.
