Remembering the heroes

Look, I know that in a couple hours we’ll all be up to our nipples in the Oscars (side note: I hate the word nipple. I have no idea why. Love nipples, but hate the word itself), but for just a tiny little moment, let’s all remember that there are men and women out there serving overseas to help keep the peace. Like this soldier, who got to return home to the man he loves. Aren’t they adorable together?

Anyway, whether or not you’ll be watching the celebrity circlejerk known as the Oscars tonight, take a moment to send some good vibes to everyone who’s out there fighting to keep everything on the level. (Adding: Yes, I know, the guys are American, but it’s all just too damn cute to pass up! Also, everone loves a man in uniform.)
