Some of our military friends have let us know that the American Mustache Institute wants to honor mustached US veterans this Friday. Yes, it sounds a little silly (and it is) but it’s funny too. They have a sense of humor that will resonate with military personnel and a reasonable lack of propriety. Anyway, they’d like to run a picture of the hairy-lipped veteran along with a vignette. That can be a personal recollection by the veteran himself (hopefully not herself) of it can be a 3^RD person tribute to a friend, NCO, commander, spouse, brother, whatever. Needs to have a picture featuring that mustache!

“We want to take advantage of any opportunity we have to honor our military personnel and feature them on our site,” says Aaron Perlut of the American Mustache Institute. “Friend, coworkers, comrades in arms, spouse. Just have them e-mail me at info@americanmustacheinstitute.org.”

Please get submissions in by this Thursday, 1900 EST.

(Pictures: Col. Lewis Millet, retired, who earned the Silver Star in WWII and the Medal of Honor in Korea. A valorous man. Doubtful anyone could get away with such a mustache these days.)
