Thank You, Veterans

Thanks to the men and women of our U.S. military, past and present, for their sacrifices on our behalf.

May the families of those who have perished by blessed, and may our active duty all return home safely.

Happy Veterans Day, all.

What were you? Did you do a couples or group costume?
