GWOT Veteran Hats: Iraq & Afghanistan

GWOT stands for the Global War on Terrorism, and the veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan use it as their own era name. Medals of America runs a GWOT hats category, retailers sell conflict caps by operation (Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom), and GWOT Boy is the era's self-given nickname, already sold on a tee by USAMM. These GWOT veteran hats are built for that search and that humor. The badges say IRAQ VETERAN, AFGHANISTAN VETERAN, GWOT VETERAN and OIF / OEF VETERAN, with GWOT BOY and SANDBOX VETERAN for the in-group. The sentence designs borrow the era's details: the dip that Task & Purpose reports is giving way to Zyn pouches ("We were soldiers once... and dipped"), a war that had wifi sometimes, and the Green Bean's Coffee on base that one Grunt Speak writer called the only thing between him and a complete morale collapse. Each line is something the wearer claims with a grin. This page is the post-9/11 era identity. It is separate from Veteran Hats, which is generic and leans older. Every design is custom embroidered on an unstructured dad hat. Wear one to a reunion, or give one to the Iraq or Afghanistan veteran who still talks about the coffee.
