Not sure this is the right size...

Despite the amusement factor, this hat actually has a bit of history to it. As in, World War II history. This was sent back to our family by my great-uncle Eddie, who was touring in Europe at the time. As far as I can tell this was a local police cap from Germany. He also had a German officer's cap, and a couple of stormtrooper helmets, complete with swastikas. I know my cousin has the cap and at least one helmet -- not sure where the other ended up.

The hat is all I have to remember Uncle Eddie by, as he didn't come back from Germany. Yeah, this may have been more appropriate a week ago. But it's still good to remember those who have served, even when it's not a special day. So here's to you, Uncle Eddie.
