You can tell those guys worked hard in those old hats. Wonky brims didn't seem to be in their vocabulary. I say, Cheers to our fathers and grandfathers!

Some great hats in the last two pics. Remembering those that came before us I’m reminded of a great quote (had to find it):
“All America lies at the end of the wilderness road, and our past is not a dead past, but still lives in us. Our forefathers had civilization inside themselves, the wild outside. We live in the civilization they created, but within us the wilderness still lingers. What they dreamed, we live, and what they lived, we dream. — “Study Out the Land” an essay by Thomas King Whipple
Happy Memorial Day!

Great pic! Back row right is a doppelgänger for Michael R. @Michael R.
Now I have this ear worm playing in my head from the Eagles, Life In The Fast Lane:
He had a nasty reputation as a cruel dude
They said he was ruthless, they said he was crude
