    I have a shirt that I would like to wear more, but have the same concerns as ray.

    I have never served, but I have worked closely with a number of military units in my life. I have a really nice shirt (and hat - but I don't like it much, and a nice plaque) that the 21st Special Operations Group (AF) gave me when I did a bunch of geek work for them. I wore it once in the US and numerous people asked if I was military (I said no), and ever since then I have refused to wear it. I don't want people to think I have done something I haven't; especially about serving.
    What is my joy if all hands, even the unclean, can reach into it? What is my wisdom, if even the fools can dictate to me? What is my freedom, if all creatures, even the botched and impotent, are my masters? What is my life, if I am but to bow, to agree and to obey?

    I don't think hats or shirts are a big deal. I gave my dad a seabee hat from my regiment. The 30th naval construction regiment, when I was enlisted. My uncle gave him a USS Portsmouth hat. He wears them both from time to time, no harm as far as I'm concerned.

    Tell the truth, you didn't serve but the unit gave you the shirt in recognition of work you did for them and you wear it in proud memory of them.
