    Talking Clan McPuller, USMC

    I guess most of you guys have seen one of these, but just in case, here it is.

    I wear one of these on my Highland Regiment issue Tam-O-shanter on a daily basis.

    I almost never found 'em, but I stumbled onto the site again today. It's a really nice "clan badge" (for all of us McPuller clan boys), and I get a lot of complements on it. Occassionally I wear it on a balmoral, but I usually wear the TOS whether kilted or not.

    And the cost is pretty reasonable, too.

    Very nice. I have an USMC Parade buckle that I may have to put up for sale. It would make a wonderful kilt belt buckle.

    I would truly love to wear it, But I was not fortunate enough to serve in The Corps! I almost made it in. Master Gunnery Seargent Top Odom, personally took me to the induction center. All went great until they found out about the ulcers. Of course that was at a time when all the Armed Forces were being picky about who they would take. The Corps were Ten times as hard to get into. I could not wear it without serving in the Corps. Just out of respect for Those that have Honourably worn that Blessed uniform. Ronald Reagan once said: "Most people go to sleep at night wondering if they've made a difference. The Marines don't have that problem!" God Bless those who serve, and God Bless my beloved Corps! Semper Fidelis!

    That's a great cap badge. I stumbled across an Air Force "buckler" hat badge somewhere... if I could just find the darn thing again. Grr. Especially since, I am going to be emailing Ms. Tewksbury verrrry soon. (hint: tartan + US Air Force + tattooed guy = :kg:
