All right boys, I'm going to make you famous. Get yourselves into a heroic pose. Okay. That's it. Just like that. Hold still. Excellent! The Capital Post thanks you! Who knows, maybe someone will turn this photo into a statue one day. All right, you boys try not to die out there, okay? God bless you, and God bless the U.S. of A!
