Here's the link. Link to Hat

Thanks for the thoughts. Wirestripper responded as well, and now I'm not sure if I will order one or not. The last thing I want to do is upset a veteran!

Personaly, I would not be offended. I find that T-shirts and underwear emblazened with the flag, (a improper display) usually gets my goat.

I have some vet friends that do get offended when they find these sorts of things. Why take the chance? A unit hat usually will prompt a question from a former serviceman, and if you feel comfortable answering the question, then fine. But, I would not wear a Navy hat, as I am army and vice versa. It is a pride thing, and the huge number of lying sacks of -----that say they were in Nam and served when they did not have spoiled many attitudes.

Oh go ahead and wear it with pride, just don't claim to be a member when you are not. I wear a NYFD hat every day, and I have never touched a fire hose! I just wear it to show support.

This used to be an issue with me as a former frogman (SEAL). We used to get upset when folks wore t-shirts and hats with the SEAL "Trident" logo on them. That's all passe. Now we just assume that anyone wearing the logo is a supporter or friend or familiy member.

Go for it, wear it with pride, they are "your team!"
