Miss USA, Chelsea Cooley, wore a Marine desert cover, shared personal stories and laughed with wounded warriors to show her support for Marines at the Injured Support Barracks Monday. Cooley, who is from Charlotte, N.C., said she has always wanted to come back to North Carolina and visit with the troops. Although it is not part of Miss USA obligations, Cooley volunteers regularly with the United Service Organizations and speaks with service members all over the world.

“Yes, I think chicks dig scars,” Cooley laughed. “I don’t like pretty boys, so I would say scars are not a bad thing.” I think a scar says to a girl, on a subconscious level, that here is a man who is not afraid to stand and fight for her. As long as it is not grossly disfiguring, it's probably a net plus for most of these guys.
He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say "To-morrow is Saint Crispian":
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars
And say "These wounds I had on Crispin's day."
