Black Watch in Iraq

[RockyR]

Fellas,

The whole band is probably in Iraq...that's a whole lot of pipers & drummers to outfit...and also, British MOD and Army regulations are much more strict in regards to combat "kit". Whilst I'm sure they would appreciate the thought, I doubt they would be allowed to wear a camo kilt.

Not to put a downer on your idea; I think it's great, but there are other ways to support the Watch, as you'll find on the Scotsman's web site.

Cheers,

T.

No downer Todd since that's your choice not mine. If you are not interested that is fine. You certainly have pointed to a good way to support them, but that is why this board is what it is, we all look at things differently. We make our choices based on who we are and what makes us tick. I really don't mind if your hands are not on this clock.

I like the Idea of the Camo Kilt because this method is is a purely "American" way of giving our thanks to these brave men.

I have to agree, and it's not like the 1st Sgt wore his kilt out on patrols or anything he is a 1st Sgt he sits back and ensures things run well with his troops. while the MARPAT kilt is AWSOME and a great show of care and thankfullness. 1st Sgt Farr and any other Marine would not be out wearing a Kilt all the time. So I would not expect the Black Watch to.

I don't think there was any suggestion anyone would wear a kilt in battle anymore then Sailors in the US Navy wear Dress Blues to battle Stations unless that is what we were wearing when we got called.. I am talking about a GIFT ... from heart to heart

That's all ...

To support the Black Watch and it's fallen soldiers, Why not buy yourself a Black Watch Tartan Kilt and Wear it proudly this Thursday, November 11th, with a Poppy?

That is what I am going to do. I will be thinking about all the past contributions and how they liberated countries and cities in the South Pacific from the Japanese Army.

Long Live the Watch.
