Stickers for US State Honorary Societies?

Question

Should we have stickers for individual US states' honorary societies? Like a Kentucky Colonel sticker, or a Nebraska Admiral sticker, or a Rhode Island Commodore sticker? I'm sure there are more, like the Sagamore of the Wabash, Order of the Palmetto, and The Order of the Long Leaf Pine.

It would be pretty neat to have a sticker to signify such great honors, usually bestowed by a state's governor to signify some contribution to the state. Perhaps Project Leaders and Project Coordinators over states that have such gubernatorial honor societies could work together to figure out how best to work it out, and whether or not to include two kinds of sticker formatting: one for natives of the state, and one for those born outside of, or with little connection to the state. For example, both Pope Benedict XVI and Hunter S. Thompson are Kentucky Colonels, but only Thompson was a Kentucky native.)

Answer 1

Now, this seems like an excellent use of stickers to me! I like the idea. A definite thumbs-up. 

Answer 2

Love the idea of a Kentucky Colonel Sticker as well as others. Good one, Mitchell!

(How in the world did Benedict XVI get a KC?!?)

Comments

For those unaware of the KY Colonels at large:

To be fair, most of our Governors hand them out to heads of state (the Pope is technically both a head of state and head of a faith, and both President Bush's, and Winston Churchill got one), celebrities of all stripes who have ever had any contribution or connection with Kentucky (like Col. Harland Sanders, born in Indiana but made us famous for "KFC"), Kentucky natives (celebrities like Jennifer Lawrence, Muhammad Ali, Hunter S. Thompson, and Johnny Depp, or folks like my great uncle, who survived Pearl Harbor), and famous people with no recognizable connection to Kentucky whatsoever (like Ringo Starr and Betty White.)

The catch is that you have to be nominated by an existing colonel, and then the governor reviews it and decides whether or not to make them an aide-de-camp and confirm them as a Kentucky Colonel. At that point they're eligible to join the Kentucky Colonels organization, an organization who supports communities through acts of charity and monetary grants and scholarships.

All that to say this: all the Colonels I personally know except one have passed to the great beyond, and the one I know who's still living asks "What have you done for Kentucky?"

The answer is "Nothing yet, but what I have in mind to make this state better, the contributions I want to bring to it, our sitting governor would hate, so..."

Sorry. That was a ramble.
