[Woodcarver] Eagle Head Project

[Jack]

Hi Byron, I expected more from you then this reply. everything has its place 
and time. they could give our fine soldiers and seaman and airmen each a 
different colored polo shirt and a beanie as part of the reg issue. But 
thank goodness someone decided there should be some uniformity in our 
uniforms. I can just hear  George Karlin saying what color is yooouur purple 
heart . I would rather find the goodness in the hearts of the people that 
are making these canes and presenting them to our brave soldiers. I would 
think if it takes that little to insult you that you don't have any problems 
at all.  not looking for a debate just letting my feelings on the matter be 
heard.  Jack
