I’ve Dated the Army, the Navy…

Happy Veteran’s Day. And a heartfelt thanks to everyone who has served.

My thanks to my friend Donald Flowers who encouraged me to add some missing details to the U.S. Air Force uniform in today’s comic. And a special thank you to my pal Robert Zailo who added those details to the art. We’ll be seeing more of Robert’s work in the future.
