How Can I Tell Their Rank?
The VFW officers wear different colored hats with different colored piping. All cooties wear a red hat except the supreme current and past commanders who wear gold. Some cooties have their titles embroidered on their hats and others do not. If they don’t, how do I determine their rank. Well that is done by the color of the tassel on their hat.
