A Grind.

Rough.  Abrasive.  Refining.  

When you put a grind to something for long enough, a shine appears.  

The benign becomes noticeable.  

This was a humbling moment when the Unarmed Forces and the Combat Flip Flops team was recognized alongside others that grind.  

We Are The Mighty and Pen Fed, Thank you for recognizing the Veterans that shine.  

 Andy, Lee, Jill, Mandy, Kate, Donald, Kristy, Maria, Matty, Ethan, Taylor, Michele, Estella, Amelia, The Dude, Jimmy, DVD... This is all you.  So much gratitude for your love and support.
