That was so silly that they banned that child from wearing his little patriotic cap.........
I applaud that Lt. General of the National Guard for caring enough to step in. He said said the second-grader should be thanked for recognizing veterans and soldiers.
I agree! :tup:

EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. – A Rhode Island boy whose school banned a hat he made because the toy soldiers on it carried tiny guns was awarded a medal on Friday for his patriotic efforts.
The little boy was assigned to make a hat last week for a project at his school. He chose a patriotic theme and glued plastic Army figures to a camouflage baseball cap. But school officials said the hat ran afoul of their no-weapons policy because the Army men held tiny guns.
