I pretty much keep things close to my vest, but screw it. I find this place . . . entertaining . . . in a good way. Salute to all the fellow veterans out there.

Desert Storm.

Sorry about the quality but it's a Kindle photo of a photo.

I don't even know if I have any pictures of me in uniform. Let me see if I can find one.

Wow. This picture is truly awful. Look at how crooked those stupid glasses are.

A proper Jarhead would have had those glasses squared away pre-photo.

My mom has a better pic of me, but it was taken pre-digital days, so I don't have it. This is the only one I have.

I can't see what you did. I was looking for a cool corgi.

I made it a lot less washed-out, and brought out some more detail.

The changes to your picture should be a bit more obvious:

@Tinwhistler, I don't think I could improve on yours, it's perfect.

You could have at least straightened the glasses.

I legitimately thought about trying, but I didn't want to miss dinner.

That's some serious "Judge Dredd is my spirit animal" level of potential shoopage.

A thank you to everyone who has served, and hugs and condolences to all who have lost someone to their service.

Now I’m slightly miffed there isn’t one for people who returned from duty and died while NOT deployed. Rolling that into Veterans’ Day would be the closest, I suppose.

Also June 27, which is PTSD day, and one I don’t think I’ve ever seen on a calendar.
