Thanks for sharing your story, gives it even more meaning. I used to wear camo as fashion when young, but as I started giving more emotion and thought behind the prints I wear, I stopped wearing it.&nbsp;I haven't worn any in a loooong time, and don't plan to change that. It doesn't feel right <i>for me</i> to wear it, but goodness wouldn't judge others for doing so! Shame on those rude people for commenting, and you've a good attitude about it. That's a great cardi, sorry to hear it's starting to wear thin. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/memorial-day-intentional-camo#post-1262080 Tue, 27 May 2014 14:28:16 +0000 crutcher 1262080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Semper Fi for your dad...thanks for you...<br />Camo not a battle worth fighting...Like you said, "Know my story....."...<br />Love your look... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/memorial-day-intentional-camo#post-1262060 Tue, 27 May 2014 14:12:54 +0000 leopardluxe 1262060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well said!

My story is that I taught military children for ten years and won't dare wear it myself. One needs to earn the right like you. DH and many others in our area also connect it with hunting and won't wear it for that reason. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/memorial-day-intentional-camo#post-1261535 Mon, 26 May 2014 20:06:37 +0000 shedev 1261535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice sweater. Hedev ( who is a vet) actively encourages my wearing of camo. He just got me a camo daypack for a camping trip we will be taking later in the summer. Yesterdays pants met with his approval. He was a little envious when I snagged a pair of Ultima jungle boots for half price a while back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/memorial-day-intentional-camo#post-1261499 Mon, 26 May 2014 18:42:10 +0000 rabbit 1261499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thinking of you and all the soldiers who offered so much today. &nbsp; Nice cardigan on you, I particularly like it with the glasses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/memorial-day-intentional-camo#post-1261423 Mon, 26 May 2014 15:55:07 +0000 kkards 1261423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ladywone, thank you for your service. <br />my dad was a navy vet, and although i&nbsp;&nbsp;never serviced, i know that i owe the life i was privileged to lead to my dad's service, as&nbsp;his college education was only possible because of the GI benefits.&nbsp;</p> <p>oh, and you look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/memorial-day-intentional-camo#post-1261409 Mon, 26 May 2014 15:35:12 +0000 columbine(erin) 1261409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for sharing your story. Camo looks good on you and very appropriate. I"m a military wife and have become sensitive to civilians wearing camo, but I'm all for veterans wearing it. Thank you for your service.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/memorial-day-intentional-camo#post-1261389 Mon, 26 May 2014 15:07:10 +0000 Angie 1261389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your camo looks, Ladywone. I like your background story to them too. Shame on those rude people, and <b><i>rock on</i></b>. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/memorial-day-intentional-camo#post-1261339 Mon, 26 May 2014 14:05:30 +0000 Ledonna N. 1261339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know there have been similar threads before but, this is why I wear fashion camo. Now I am 10yr. veteran of the U.S. Army my dad who passed was a marine for 20yrs, and I have loads of family who gave service to this great land. Now I used to have a severely poisoned eye in the past for civilians wearing camo. But being 12yrs removed my feelings and my eyes have softened. I find that my dad wore one his headgear and rank long after he left the Marines. I said I would never do that because old soldiers that. One thing I have learned in life is to never say never,</p> <p> I find that I am attracted to fashion camo and wear it often. Sometimes rude people comment but, I just tell them you do not know my journey or my story. I used to feel like I had to tell my story to every one but, I no longer feel like that. I just say HOOA and keep it moving. So on this Memorial Day honoring friends I have had the pleasure and honer of serving with I will be wearing camo. For my good, good friend who died serving America on the battle field I will continue to be intentional about wearing my fashion camo. </p> <p>And in the words of the great story teller, Paul Harvey "and now you know the rest of the story". </p> <p>P.S. Feel free to tell your story. HOOA! </p>
