It has been suggested here before but I would like to restate it.
I took out my Vietnam Service medal. When I go to vote I will have my Jungle Hat with the Army Engineer Castle and that bright yellow ribbon on my coat.

If you see me ... offer a salute ..... I will proudly return it.

And Chief and all the Swift Vet members ... here is my salute to you now.

What will you have on?

And if you're one of those dinkey dau guys who just can't stand being in a suit Smile

Then wear whatever other service regalia you have.

Just try it. You'll stand a little taller, and feel a little prouder and more gentlemanly. And you'll like it.

I know my medals are in the house somewhere. I just haven't run across them in about 2 decades. I plan to wear my cap with the swiftee logo and my CTF115 Markettime Medallion pinned to the side of it. Oh yeah, Suit & Tie also.

I wish I was in the states during this election, I would have worn my Class A uniform to the polls.

Early this morning I arrived 20 minutes befor the poll was to open. I couldn't believe the line.
I had my Vietnam Service medal, my Jungle Hat with the Army Engineer Castle, the "Vietnam Vetrans AGAINST kerry" pin and that bright yellow ribbon and medal on my coat.
I received and returned a salute from a fellow with a Navy ship ball cap on. Quite a few people said "hello", many smiled.
I felt real good.
