I've always liked the word "lagniappe." You know, that little extra something---I've always thought of it as the cherry on top of the banana split.

You're home from the war and with your family--that's the banana split. The kilts, they qualify as WONDERFUL lagniappe, I think.

If you've got deployment pay burning a hole in your pocket, check out USA Kilts, Rocky has some US Army tartan in poly-viscose that makes up into a STUNNING kilt, and remember, Rocky makes 'em to measure.
