    I don't know if the VFW or the Legion are ready for a visit from a bunch of kilties. Most of these gents are pretty old and very conservative. However, I'm open to all suggestions. Where are you located King Friday?

    Cheers, ColMac

    ATTWORTH,
    Downtown Fort Worth - Paddy Reds is next door - so we can "crawl" a liitle too. ATT, can you put up a kilt nite notice in the Tex File? If you haven't gotten your PayPal instructions, just let me know.
    THanks, ColMac

    For any group honouring a serviceman, there are very few American Legion posts that would not jump for the opportunity to host the event. Many of the posts around here host and sponsor pipe bands. I am one of many that wear the kilt at my own post. Quite a few Leathernecks, and only a few Air Force.....

    I do not know the locations or availability in Texas.

    hmmm

    I had a gentleman from a local Legion hall approach me at a walgreens and started a conversation about my tartan. He was very friendly and excited about seeing me in a kilt. I am sure they will be positively receptive.

    I am sure you thought of this, but be sure to get pictures, and maybe have the news media there.

    DALE.

    You don't have to be Scottish to be comfortable!
