A tradition of camouflage
Camouflage is supposed to hide the wearer. In the case of Cathy Harker, Lieutenant Colonel Army Reserve, camouflage did everything except help her to blend in at her child’s school.

She had an engaging smile as she graciously acknowledged their not-so-camouflaged curiosity.
