I have a "baseball cap" style hat that I bought about 8 years ago and have rarely worn since.

It is in the style of all the navy veteran military ship caps commonly in use today in the USA, and I believe it was even made by the same company that makes hats for crew and military veterans.

Here's the thing though -- this is a cap for the USS Constellation -- a FULL RIG SAILING SHIP in use from 1797-1853 (see https://historicships.org/explore/uss-constellation ). I bought it from a tourist display stand!

I am walking around Disney world this week and I keep getting "THANKED FOR MY SERVICE". Okay -- kind of amusing as I would have had to serve in the REVOLUTIONARY WAR -- but then I do nothing to purposefully pose as ex-military (which is very uncool). CAN PEOPLE NOT SEE THE SAILS ON THE BOAT?

My brother thinks I should make light of it ("yes, I served -- I climbed the rigging and packed the gun powder... you should have seen those Brits run! Avast ye mates! Walk the plank!")

I'm thinking of finding another cap to keep my bald head from sunburning... What do you think?

Even if it is voluntary, what exactly are you thanking them for when you thank them for their service? Very confused.

For me its just how we were raised, my dad did, my grandpa did, his grandpa did. It's more like blessing someone after they sneeze more than anything. However if its in older person I do make sure to be more sincere when thanking them, just out if respect

Their service to the country. It's not a great deal to put your life on the line for an average paycheck. Public service is still viewed as service, even if of military.

This doesn't apply when you are forced because you didn't choose to do it.
