HAT ADORNMENTS: ribbons, bows, pins, pugs, leather, etc.

Just the pin for sure. Us Eagle Scouts don't need any feathers, unless your on the OA dance team!

Eagle Scout gtdean48...

Yep...I took the plumage out. :eusa_clap
Funny in that I was thinking of putting on a lodge pin but went with the "Eagle".
Can't dance worth beans anyway

attach a tie tack or other pin with a similar spike on the back to a hat ribbon? Or the FFA pin, mine from 1958 has a screw back. I looked at my old tie tacks, found a couple that would look good on a hat, but can't understand how you attach the pin so it lies flush with the hat. There is evidentally a way that doesn't end up with a pin through the felt. Thanks.

It depends on the width of the ribbon. This works for me.
If the bow of the ribbon is wide enough, insert the nut of the screwback beneath the wrap in the center of the bow. Then push the screw on the back of the pin through the wrap so it engages the nut. Then turn the pin to tighten.

OK G-Man!!!! We'll talk in Mont Eagle... at Capones place.!

Oh, man... that's this weekend. Last month I was all set to talk my wife into going, when I realized that it's the same weekend as part two of some training my company is having everyone attend. It's good training, but the timing was lousy!:eusa_doh:

And now, to go dig up my camera and hat w/pin!

the pin is the Eternal Blue Line flag. www.thinblueline.org
for police officers killed in the line of duty on my new VS

Nice, lc! I was unaware of the Eternal Blue Line flag until now. I'm surprised I've not seen one on the news or elsewhere. It's rather like the Blue Star/Gold Star banners for the military. Still, I thought that police officer's caskets were draped in the American flag like those of military veterans.

Regards,
Tom

Thanks Tom,

the caskets are still draped in the American flag...this flag was created sometime in the early 90's as a law enforcement identifier and has since been adopted by the National Law Enforcement Memorial Foundation...

I have never seen it draped over a casket of an officer killed in the line of duty except in the picture from the website.. unfortunately the many funerals I have attended in CA have been with the US flag over the casket as is tradition of being killed in the line of duty...

TWA pin on a Stratoliner

OK, here it is:

But I can't get a good shot with the colors looking right. It's a rich dark brown, with a reddish brim binding and a darker ribbon.

Cheers,
Tom

This one is the closest, I think:

Hey GT...
Yep, brothers in several ways. Pretty cool.

Took the Eagle Scout pin off my Sydney. Thought it was too shiney. Gonna look for my sterling one with a little tarnish (the one in the pic is rhodium finished).

So, on me lid, I tried two badges...I think I'll go with the smaller one with the Huey. Thoughts? Suggestions? Cash?

BTW, think I'll order one of those Thin Blue Line pins...very cool and meaningful. Plus, may get me out of a ticket someday (you'd be surprised how handy my weathered old Eagle card has been ) But seriously, I like what that Blue Line flag represents. :eusa_clap

Absolutely cool. I may take the lapel pin I got for my son making Eagle. It is more pewter looking....
