I wear a kilt to Church Services at the Post Chapel most every Sunday, and today I wore my Holyrood tartan, with a blue shirt and tie with a black vest.

I often assist in the collection of the offering, as I did today. I and another usher went back to the Chaplain Assistant's office to count. Today was the first day for a new Chaplain Assistant. She is a young private first class and when she saw the kilt, she said she HAD to get a picture!

So after concluding our official business, one of her colleagues took a picture of us together, then we went outside and she took another picture of me alone.

I think it brightened her day and it certainly didn't hurt mine to have this young 19-20 year old asking about the kilt! (I'm in my early 60's)

When I told my wife about it, she said she was going to keep a closer eye on me. I told her not to worry. (We just celebrated our 40th Wedding Anniversary with a long weekend in Vienna, Austria.)

Anyway, more evidence of the Power of the KILT (and the nice people you meet and talk with because of it.)
