LOL! Glad the mods missed the first part of your post - gave me a good laugh! BTW, what’s a TW uniform?

" BTW, what’s a TW uniform?"

Tropical worsted, just like Lt. General Omar Bradley's wearing in the photo I posted. That's the uniform we wore in the summer right up to the early 1960's in The Old Guard; it goes way back to the "brown boot" Army.

I received this comment in an email from a fellow member of The Old Guard Association this am: "Was over at Fort Meade this morning for the Army Birthday/Flag Day breakfast and every soldier I saw was in a patrol cap - and they looked REALLY HAPPY".
