We are grateful for our nation's veterans who conserve and protect us. Your service allows us the freedom to, in turn, conserve and protect turtles - for the benefit of all. Thank you. 🇺🇸

Featured in this collage is juvenile green turtle Thistle, who stranded 1/18/22 at Cape Lookout suffering from cold-stunning. Thistle was also treated for a severe case of osteoarthritis. He was successfully released offshore on 7/24/23.
