    My best friend since the 4th grade returns from his 2nd tour here in couple weeks.

    Sockmonkey (Greg) was kind enough to donate bedside decals (which I did however just use the punisher he created) for his truck which I picked up from his mom and put them on today. They came out awesome! I can't thank Greg enough, and I know Apollo is going to be stoke.

    He's not a member here, but let's show him some love and a huge welcome home after nearly 8 years of service (keep in mind he's my age at 24)

    Welcome home man, missed you and thanks for your service!
