re: #51 Feline Fearless Leader

Yea. Confederate cavalry hat (whether that is true provenance or not, that is the intention) with a US Army rank insignia added a’la Duvall’s hat in Apocalypse Now.

Hokey by about any definition.

From a Rotary bio of Morlen:

Raised in Southern Illinois, Rick Morlen attended the United States Military Academy at West Point, graduating in 1979. He served in the Army as a Helicopter Pilot at several levels of Command.

So Air Cav seems about right.
