Remember that not all heroes wear capes.
Some of my best friends had or have served in the US military, and regardless of any signs of physical tolls that doing service during a war gets you, nobody really confronts the mental anguish that our brave men and women in the military have to put up with.
Devon Manney is getting ready to premiere his new animated short, Cradle next Wednesday here, and in it, returning to the USA after losing both arms overseas, a young veteran battles phantom pains, prosthetics, and memories of his pre-war life while reaching for a sense of normalcy.
Check out a trailer for the premiere below, and then if you run into a family vet this weekend, give ’em a big ol’ hug in gratitude for what they do for your country.
