It's such a shame that someone would try and ruin someone else's night with
petty things like that. Especially at a formal event where everyone is generally expected to act like a gentleman (even in spite of the single malt per table). It's even sadder that someone who had such little knowledge of what was 'appropriate' or not would try and correct someone else. I am by no means an expert on what is accepted by the standards of highland dress, especially when it comes to formal or evening wear. It's exactly for this reason that I wouldn't walk up to anyone in a huff and try and critique their outfit.
I was glad to hear there was a wounded warrior's table. Some of my brothers from my unit were recently wounded in action and it's good to know that America still respects and appreciates their service. All in all, well done
