Still wearing masks along with their fatigues, the doctors were given a fitting farewell as they exited the hospital. Hopefully, they'll get some much needed rest themselves.

On this Memorial Day Weekend, no 'thanks' will ever be enough to our Army members, and everyone who has served or still serves in the military. You have our deepest gratitude. Thank you for your sacrifice.
