Union Officer Hat

The opposing forces are closing in once again on the front! One of your scouts bursts into your tent warning you of the eminent danger. The rest of your fellow officers look at the map as they arrange the battle scene. You'll soon be outflanked if you stay in this position, and there's no hope of reinforcements arriving in time to aid you. "What do we do, commander?" One of your trusted officers asks. You think to yourself for a moment, weighing the options. You realize there's only one way to create enough of a gap in such little time to outmaneuver the enemy infantry. "We must strike with a cavalry charge," you say. You begin to prepare yourself to lead the effort and mount your horse.Before you leave, however, you make sure to don your trusty Union officer hat. It's been with you through the entire war and kept you alive this long. It's sure to inspire your troops through this fight as well. That or it just makes a really sweet top to your Union officer costume at the next party or reenactment.
