We Are Family

This relatively easy puzzle was released on a date of personal significance to its honoree (pictorial hint to the right). However, the puzzle has been constructed in a manner that requires absolutely no information about the honoree or his family. After completing the puzzle (spoiler), learn more about the family by clicking here.
