Description

A few blades of grain dance gently in the late afternoon sunlight.

As a proud Veteran, I'd like to remind all BP members in the US to shake a vet's hand today and thank them for their efforts in keeping this great country "the land of the free and home of the brave"! Happy Veteran's DAy to all the vets, past and present!
