I'd say run the hat, Larry - nothing at all wrong with that.

 

It's people that will toss on a USMC cap, then hang a Navy Cross, Bronze Star, Purple Heart on the side of it, or some $hit like that...  :bat:

Get "Proud father" stitched on the back.

LOL! It already has 'Okinawa Japan' stitched on the back! You guys are persuasive, I guess I'll start wearing it some.

 

An older gentleman at church this morning walked in about two minutes after we did and told me "Semper Fi!" After the service I asked him if he had seen the USMC sticker on the back window of my truck, which says "Proud Marine Parent" and explained that I was not a Marine, but have a son in Okinawa and what the sticker actually says when you get close enough to read it. He told me "I'm very familiar with Okinawa! Tell your son I said Semper Fi, and Semper Fi to you too!" I thanked him for his service and told him he was invited to Josh's wedding in August. <thumbsup>

My dad was a US Marine. Or 'is' a US Marine, maybe. My dad passed away a few years ago, but some say, Marines don't die, they just regroup.

 

Anyway, I guess I could wear the hat that says 'USMC' and maybe even claim that means I'm rooting for the home team. Or wear it in memory of my dad. I have the hat.

 

I can't wear the hat. I've not been in the armed forces and ferdamsher never hit the beach at Iwo like he did.

 

I can't wear that hat like my dad did, so I don't.
