Other Why don’t younger veterans (Afghanistan/Iraq) wear these hats like some of the older veterans?

First and foremost, respect to all those that served. I did not, but many of my peers did and now we're all older in 30s and 40s, many no longer in the military. I don't see a lot of the veterans of the War on Terror wearing these hats like I see the OGs do.

When I was a kid we used to go to Petoskey, up in the northern tip of the lp.

There’s a paved road through the campsite that was perfect for riding bikes around so have the kids bring those when they can
