That Vette patch is too badass on your fatigues. God bless you for your service my man. Now you get to shave your beard!

What would a Vette look like if it was vinyl wrapped in a multi-cam pattern? I wonder.

I'm glad you made it through in one piece.

Welcome home!

Shaving off the battle beard is both sombering and liberating at the same time. At the end of the day, I'm just happy my dog and I are going home in good health.
