Red caps?

This veteran thought the hats were somewhat tacky.

I agree with whoever it was that suggested camo. (Then I might have an excuse to buy a camo HSM--I've always wanted one.)

This veteran wears a camo ball cap all the time, complete with eagle/American flag on the front, flaming stars & stripes on the long bill, an American flag on the left side, an American flag pin front left, and two cross pins (one is an American flag on a cross). Under the eagle is embroidered "USA" with a gold leaf cluster surrounding it. In between the eagle's beak and the USA is a pin from my old army unit, the 2nd Armored Division, which at the time was commanded by the late Major General George S. Patton IV.

I get many compliments on my hat. A camo HSM would be sweet, but I think I'm going back to a traditional mask next season.

I have no interest in corresponding with wee Barack O'Bama. I already have Vietnam-era status, and am eligible for full membership in the VFW.

Oh, and Tiocfaidh ár lá.

This veteran didn't give a damn about the hats, pins, ribbons or bracelets. It was what they stood for and that there were people who gave a damn about what they stood for.

The point was that you don't speak on behalf of all veterans (let alone on this board,) and that criticism of the manner of the memorial is not criticism of the sentiment itself.

I more than understand who I speak for.

Re-check my post. One would think if you're old enough to be a vet you're old enough understand sarcasm. If not, look it up.

Re-check your post. One would think if you were old enough to be a vet, you'd know how to use sarcasm properly.
