A Veteran's Day Fashion Friday

 We commemorate Fashion Friday Veteran’s Day with a few plates of U.S. Navy uniforms from WWI and Armistice Day (the original Veteran’s Day) to 1967, the date of the publication of the plates in the portfolio set Uniforms of the United States Navy 1900-1967 published in 1967 by the Naval History Division of the U.S. Office of the Chief of Naval Operations. The portfolio consists of 12 large color lithographs created by noted military illustrator H. Charles McBarron, showing the intricate details that went into each iteration of the Navy uniform. 

Included with the plates is a detailed text describing each uniform by U.S. Naval historian James C. Tily. Each text breaks down the particularities and differences of the uniforms for different ranks of the time, including Captains, Lieutenants, Midshipmen, and more.

This Veteran's Day, honour the troops and let me, a genuine Veteran™, give some advice to anyone considering joining the US armed services,

Enlistment: Not Even Once

#US military #Veteran's Day #seriously don't fucking do it #it's not worth compromising your ethics #like look at what this nation is doing and ask yourself if you want to be a cog in this war machine

Respecting those who did what others wouldn't, so we can do what others can't.

VETERANS DAY, 11/11/2023

I am thankful for all those who have served in the armed forces, who made sacrifices both small and great, to ensure the rest of us can bitch and moan in peace. I'm not being witty or smarmy, nor am I speaking with tongue in cheek, or anything else. I consider what those in uniform have had to endure over the ages, the sacrifices they have made, the loss of friends and lovers to the ravages of war and "peace-keeping" missions, and note how puny my own contributions have been. So sincerely, THANK YOU to the men and women of the armed forces, and especially to our Veterans.

Some day we will discover the best way to honor our veterans is to beat our swords into plough shares, and our spears into pruning hooks. Until then, let us stand on guard for them!

I will come to a time in my backwards trip when November eleventh, accidentally my birthday, was a sacred day called Armistice Day. When I was a boy, and when Dwayne Hoover was a boy, all the people of all the nations which had fought in the First World War were silent during the eleventh minute of the eleventh hour of Armistice Day, which was the eleventh day of the eleventh month. It was during that minute in nineteen hundred and eighteen, that millions upon millions of human beings stopped butchering one another. I have talked to old men who were on battlefields during that minute. They have told me in one way or another that the sudden silence was the Voice of God. So we still have among us some men who can remember when God spoke clearly to mankind. Armistice Day has become Veterans' Day. Armistice Day was sacred. Veterans' Day is not. So I will throw Veterans' Day over my shoulder. Armistice Day I will keep. I don't want to throw away any sacred things. What else is sacred? Oh, Romeo and Juliet, for instance. And all music is.

I didn’t know you at the time when your life was on the line, and tho a stranger you may be, may I still give thanks to thee?

My friends and I were older, caught up in a life of husbands and babies and domestic strife, while you, and the young bloods of our land were carrying guns and taking a stand.

I knew nothing of that stand, so removed was I but I am sure that still today, you hear the battle cry.

You were no one that I knew and so I didn’t pray for you, but now when ‘er you walk my way I hold you in my heart and pray.

And tho a stranger you may be, may I still give thanks to thee?
