My uncle served in the Navy. My grandmother has his military gear, but I could never imagine asking her if I could wear it. Though, I did get a kick out of trying on is jackets. :)

My high school friend, Matt, continues to serve this country as an Army man.

I married a Navy man this year.

I remember reading about the Army/Sears merchandising deal this summer, but a recent trip to my hometown Sears took me by surprise. A whole section of 'official looking' Army merchandise, complete with the label '1st Infantry Division', was ready for purchase (and on sale, to boot).

I had my camera in tow and decided to ask my husband what he thought of Sears' marketing move. His sentiments mirror those of other military folks. What do you think? As for me, I'm in the mindset that I shouldn't wear the patch unless I served. 

Thoughts?
