Score for camo day tomorrow:

My husband had to go down to Long Island for work. On the way back, he stopped by my father's house. Dad lent me one of his uniform shirts and his helmet from the time when he served in Vietnam. It's not camo (I gather doctors wore khaki uniforms rather than jungle camo fatigues) but, hey, that shirt and that hat have been in Vietnam.

Unfortunately, I will have to pair this with jeans and definitively civilian boots. I hope I don't send the wrong message to any actual vets out there, especially considering that we're coming up on Memorial Day. Perhaps slacks would be a better choice? (I have black pants, but no khaki pants.)

ETA: I won! I posted a selfie on FB. Dad didn't even recognize me, even though it was his (and, once upon a time, my) last name on the shirt.
