I have not purchased a new one because it has not needed to be replaced
Good morning,
I got your email this morning and, thought I would respond.
I purchased a hat about 9 years ago. I wear it every day. I have worn it to walk the city, hike the trails of Ontario, climb a mountain in New Zealand, for fishing in the blistering heat and the freezing cold, for walking across frozen lakes in the Canadian north, in wind, snow, rain, and sun. It has seen a hundred campfires, lightning shows over Nippising, the auroras australis and borealis, and hangs by my back door or on the hook behind the door in my classroom. I love it.
I have not purchased a new one because it has not needed to be replaced. I have not purchased a new one out of satisfaction. My hat has performed as it should. Thank you for that.
Please keep sending the emails. I don't always look at them, but it never hurts to plan for the future.
Yours,
D. Allan Stares

God bless America

11-11-11 the guns went silent . Peace to all
World War I (often abbreviated as WWI or WW1), also known as the First World War or the Great War, was a global waroriginating in Europe that lasted from 28 July 1914 to 11 November 1918. Contemporaneously described as the "war to end all wars",[7] it led to the mobilisation of more than 70 million military personnel, including 60 million Europeans, making it one of the largest wars in history.[8][9] An estimated nine million combatants and seven million civilians died as a direct result of the war, while it is also considered a contributory factor in a number of genocides and the 1918 influenza epidemic, which caused between 50 and 100 million deaths worldwide.[10] Military losses were exacerbated by new technological and industrial developments and the tactical stalemate caused by gruelling trench warfare. It was one of the deadliest conflicts in history and precipitated major political changes, including the Revolutions of 1917–1923, in many of the nations involved. Unresolved rivalries at the end of the conflict contributed to the start of the Second World War about twenty years later.[11]
