In honor of that being his last official need to wear his uniform, I took liberty with the lyrics/tune of First Time In Forever from Frozen and came up with this:
Cause for the first time in twenty years
He's not putting on a uniform
For the first time in twenty years
He'll be wearing civvies home
For the first time in twenty years
There'll be no hats, no hand salutes
For the first time in twenty years
No military-issued boots
No random urinalysis
No training for annual PT tests
Sleep in, don't shave, let his beard grow
A retiree, everyone will know
His hair can grow out past his ears
He outprocessed yesterday
Cause for the first time in twenty years
For the first time in twenty years
He'll be home all day!

Thank you, Joe, for your service to our country! You've given your children a legacy to be proud of. And thank you, Michelle, for all the sacrifices you made so he could serve.
Praying for blessings upon blessings as you enter this new season of being TOGETHER!
