I am the one that actually made the kilt (I'm the owner of USAKilts)... I'm the bald guy in the interview on the link. Just to clarify the intent...

Jimmy saw the story on MSN.com. He showed it to me. A couple of my buddies just got back from serving over there. I am VERY appreciative of everything our servicemen and women are doing and have done for us. If spending 5 hours sewing up a kilt can brighten up the day of 1 marine (not to mention the guys he plays for), it was well worth it. I did not KNOW that Utilikilts was doing 1 until I read it on this messageboard. GREAT! He'll get 2 and be able to wear 1 while the other's in the wash. To me, it's not a competition... it's about the Marine defending freedom.
