WHEN TO WEAR THE UNIFORM
Former Service Men Inclined to Be
Too Modest in Appearing In
Army Toga.
Fortner service men ure too modest
to appear In uniform on special occa
sions. according to a letter from a
member of the American Legion.
The letter follows:
“Armistice day brought with it sonic
new revelations of viewpoint ou the
wearing of the uniform at ceremonies
and celebrations, and. Inasmuch as In
the future we must confront the prob
lem time after time, I believe the
question should be settled now. one
way or the other. I am neutral on the
subject and am willing to do as the
•bunch' does.
“Since their discharge the majority
of both officers and enlisted men have
shown more than a little hesitancy In
putting the uniform back on for special
occasions. The true spirit of the Le-
I glon Is not manifest in any parade
when the majority of the men appear
in civilian clothes and a handful march
In uniform. On such occasions the uni
formed man Is in an embarrassing po
sition, and he vows: ‘Never again!' 1
think modesty Is responsible for most
men's preference for 'civvies' on formal
occasions, but I know that some argue
that they do not want to be In uniform
with a bunch of men wearing officers'
uniforms and Insignia.
‘1 am sure there is not an ex-officer
i In the Legion who would not willingly
discard his Insignia If it operated as a
barrier to harmony. But let’s have a
standard rule—either civvies or uni
forms."
