I've a bit of a story to tell, about patriotism, Americans and being a vet.

Dive in if you feel the urge.

So I wear one of those black vet's hats. It's got some earned badges as pins on it, and a 101st pin.

It might be considered "bling," in a miltary sense.

Anyway, folks see it and thank me sometimes; always an uncomfortable encounter for me for I was just a kid back then.

I figure because I live in a fairly rural area there's prolly more "thank you for your service" remarks because military service typically hits small towns harder. A town of 1000 losing ten or twelve working age adults is a big deal.
