Daily writing prompt
What are your two favorite things to wear?

I never thought I’d be a hat person.

As I kid, I avoided them.

As a teenager, I despised them.

As a police officer I looked at them as one more thing to lose.

And as a soldier, I loathed them beyond a helmet that would keep my brain intact.

Now as a senior citizen with a dome that reflects so much light that it hurts people’s eyes, I’m all over the baseball cap.

But not just any baseball cap. I have no caps with team logo’s on them. None with corporate logo’s. and only one that states I’m “The Worlds Greatest Dad.”

The majority of my hats identify me as a Former Military Policeman, Gulf War Vet, or U.S. Army. I’ wear those everywhere.

I also like hoodies. Again, no team or corporate logos, but hoodies that ID me as a former member of our Army or as a Military Policeman.

What can I say. Military service is something that’s worth bragging about.
