First real public wearing...

[irishrob]

My wife works at the local VA clinic, as well as being a disabled Viet Nam vet, and since I have every other Friday off, it is my custom to bring her lunch on those days. Guess what I generally wear? Nothing but good comments from the staff and other patients. One of the nurses always calls it a skirt but that is because I got her husband into wearing one and she gives us both a hard time (goodnaturedly).

Great story.

All two hour drives should be made kilted...

Glad you had a good day! I find that most vets appreciate the spirit of the kilt. I speculate there are many reasons for the appreciation of the kilt by vets but I think the primary one is that vets don't give a rats behind what others might think. As a Marine, I had the best in the world try to break my spirit and my body, if they couldn't do it, some runt with his hat on sideways and pants around his knees isn't going to have a much clout with me

Good news all the way. Glad to see you've made a fine public appearance.
AND, a warm welcome to you to XMTS

Glad to hear the clinic appointment went well.

Indeed, the first time I went kilted in public I expected to be laughed at. Instead, I received nothing but positive remarks and a few "where can I get a kilt?" questions.
