This wasn't a costume party.

You don't wear a tailored mess dress with crappy medals to a costume party
You pick the best fake ones to impress people, especially with a massive ego.
No, no you don't
You wear it because you earned it.

This isn't how they dress for their little parties but it is how you draw a red line.
With a little bit of research you can figure out why.

To all my fallen brothers and sisters,
May God in his mercy forgive you and take you into his ever loving arms.
You didn't have to but you did anyway. I will never forget that, not ever.
