Wow! I was in training when this thread was started so I missed it. Thank you Lefty, this is an amazing thread and I mean amazing. Some of the pictures posted are blocked over here but some aren't. Good stuff!!

Thinking of this... Are you keeping it under your Stetson? I wonder how many soldiers we have on this forum that wear hats on the home-front.

Well Matt, I can say that I have quite a few hats and a lot of them are Stetsons. ;)

44 - If that's a strat, it's one with a wide ribbon and stitched brim.

Looking forward to the story if we can get it, thanks Lefty!

as for an updated campaign, I don't think it is possible to keep much of anything secret anymore. Instead, how about a play on all of the craziness and panic that seems to assault us daily:

To keep your head when all about you are losing theirs
put your head under a Stetson.​

Hey, Hatco, if you use it, I want a Presidente'

The more I see posts like this the happier I am I found this group. Very interesting to say the least. How things have changed! When a family member was in Iraq a few years ago his every move was in a daily blog. That wouldn't have been acceptable in 1945!

PS:The one on the bottom left of Lefty's original post looks like a beer coaster.

I don't know if this is within the bounds of the board rules or not, if not, mods feel free to delete this post.

But without mentioning specific auctions, I did notice a few of those posters up on e-bay.

Too bad we live in a society where certain segments of the electorial process 'reward' loose lips! where it is cool and politically correect to try to hurt our government/country. It makes me sad, sick, and fighting mad! very nice posters and nice thread!

I understand that Valerie Plame will be doing a "Keep it Under Your Stetson" ad sometime in the near future...:whistling ;)

Of course, as far as Julian Assange is concerned, Keep "It" Under Your Stetson may be sound advice for other reasons....:D

In Britain and Canada, there was a similar expression:

"Loose lips sink ships."

Not sure if it moved any hats, though.

Regards,

Harry.
