Martial Arts Buddies: Del Ray Father's Day Photos

ALEXANDRIA, VA—Whether it's through their personality, looks, hobbies or a combination of everything, sons become a reflection of the man who raised them. With Father's Day 2018 right around the corner, we are celebrating that special bond by inviting Patch readers across Virginia to share their "father-son look-alike" photos. Even if you don't look that much alike!

It doesn't matter how old the kids are, they'll always be your babies!

Del Ray resident Chris Middleton sent us this great photo of his son Nate and him doing Kempo, a type of martial arts.

Happy Father's Day, Chris!

It's your turn, Patch readers — what traits do son and father share? Submit your lookalike photos by sending them to emily.leayman@patch.com. Be sure to include a nice message for your loved one, as well as the city/location of the photo and the date it was taken. We'll share some of our favorites.
