Bravo, Bravo!
The kid should instruct the teacher to address him as Sir or General henceforth.

When I was his age I got to play with painted WWI toy soldiers made of lead and played with by my father. I can’t even imagine a child’s life where toy soldiers are banned! I’m thinking the people responsible for this need to be kept far far away from children.

I thought that was funny too.
That is General Morales to you, when the teacher calls him David.

I hope the Lt. General didn’t get in trouble for his choice of words.

Good for the kid! You’re right, they should have to address him as ‘general’. LOL

...medal called a challenge coin...A challenge coin is not a medal.
Anyway, I wonder if the General told him how to use it. ;)

A Rhode Island boy whose school banned a hat he made because the toy soldiers on it carried tiny guns
Wow, I'll bet those tiny guns shot tiny bullets made in tiny factories in some leftist's tiny brain.

Of course, the medal depicts soldiers with tiny guns, so the kid will probably be sent home again if he wears the medal to school.

The kid should instruct the teacher to address him as Sir or General henceforth. Ha! Too funny, I like it.
Mrs Jones, by the power vested in me by The Rhode Island National Guard, from this point forward you will address me as "Sir".
