For Veterans: A Hat Question

I love wearing baseball caps. For one, they are cheaper than a hairpiece. I have a wide collection of hats from work or places I have visited or from sports teams.

If I were to buy and wear a Space Force hat, is that Stolen Valor? I think the Space Force is awesome, and want to support them. What about buying a CVN-65 Enterprise cap, since my dad served on the Big E?

I’ve never claimed that I served, and do not want to give the wrong impression. What do you think?

    I gotta add, when are they going to update the style of the veteran hats for us younger folks (pushing 40)? No offense to anyone who loves their veteran’s hats, and I always respect them, and I am always happy to see someone wearing one. But for OIF & OEF I wish they’d update the style for Gen-X and Millennials. But I guess, as a conservatize, I shouldn’t be too quick to throw out the old ways out just yet.

    Since it looks like you’re (maybe?) an Army vet, look to Ranger Up, Grunt Style, and Grunt Works. I’ve gotten great hats from them, but it’s episodic.

    BTW, see how I linked directly to their headgear sections? Yeah. That’s me. I’m a giver.

    Yeah, Army aviation (“the Air Force of the Army!”) Love these, definitely going to pick some of these up. You are a gentleman & a scholar.

    If there is a problem with it, is there a statute of limitations.

    Asking for a friend.

    Watch it if some guy comes up and says

    On kwilc cruciāta didst thee ræde?
