I have taken the liberty of posting the quote below. It was posted on another thread. I wish I had said it, because it really expresses how I feel. So, rabble, why do you wear the kilt? One caveat: I hope we can celebrate all choices and respect a diversity of opinions. I'm certainly not looking for a "best" answer. (BTW, I hope some of the reasons might also express a humorous angle too).
" I wear the kilt to honor my forebears and (as a veteran) for all those whom have died wearing the kilt far away from home serving something greater than just themselves. I consider the kilt the physical embodiment of my family legacy. When I wear the kilt, it's as if my ancestors are walking along side me."
