I remember wearing cowboy hats back in the late 70s, then "Urban Cowboy" came out and it was 'all the rage' to wear cowboy hats, western shirts, boots and listen to Country music. It was the latest 'cool' fad, and tough to prove you weren't just another fad follower. That's about when I started...

I think there was an incident or two in the Persian Gulf when US Warships had to fire upon small Zodiac type rafts that were intent on doing damage to the ships as in the bombing attack on the USS Cole.
