Thanks folks,
I put the Rest in Peace across the chevrons both in my brother's honor, but also so the chevrons wouldn't be mistaken as earned by me - which they weren't. The back of the jacket has that large USMC logo. The patches honor my brother's service with USMC Aviation up at El Torro (think its gone to red tile roofs now) and later as a Drill Instructor in San Diego. He was probably about 12 or 13 when I was in briefly. Guess he must have looked up to the Corps since he put in ten years before he died. Obviously that is one reason I was standing tall today.
But the swish of a fine hand sewn kilt sure lifted my spirits today too. I work with a guy who's always saying, "Life is good." Well, with a fine hand sewn kilt wrapped around ya life is really really good.
