In honor of my Kid Bro finishing his tour in Iraq - THE BAR IS OPEN!


This is my Kid Bro, a soon to be retired US ARMY Sgt First Class, who has finished his Iraq tour.



Right now he's in Germany, awaiting for his
time to retire in September

He's a husband and father of four and a grandfather of one.

He's also a Scorpio.

Life is good and all drinks on me!
