"Underneath" really strongly because of Steve and people not liking him and then liking him....plus, just the military and what they go through all the time.  "Better Than I Know Myself" with Steve and Bucky and ( Read more... )

Thank you to all who have served and are serving.  We can all never thank you enough for the sacrifices you have all made for us to live, to go on with our lives.  Without your sacrifices, none of us would have what we have today.  Thank you.

Whether you agree with War or not, be thankful for the men and women who sacrifice themselves everyday for us all.
