THE PENTAGON — Sgt. Maj. of the Army Daniel Dailey announced today that he was authorizing festive uniform modifications for this holiday season, spanning Thanksgiving through the New Year. The announcement comes as part of a broader effort to increase morale across the Army and bolster recruitment.
"We urge every soldier to embrace this holiday season with Christmas and Hanukkah-themed ornamentation adorning their uniforms," said Dailey. "Santa and elf hats, tinsel aiguillettes on the shoulder, menorah pins on the lapel, full out nutcracker uniforms. Anything goes, really."
"We encourage soldiers to use their uniform as a means to express their individuality," added Dailey.
