the Jolly Green footprints (symbolic of the PJs, see more details below) that measure 1.25" tall by 1.25" wide with Velcro on the reverse side.Jolly Green Footprints
"The tradition of the Jolly Green Giant footprints worn on PJs began in 1971 in Southeast Asia at NKP RTAFB during the Vietnam War.
After much deliberation, accentuated by a number of previously told and retold war stories, a group of PJs decided what could be more fitting than the highly revered and prestigious symbol of combat rescue than the Jolly Green Giant footprint?! The concept was born. Thus, the custom began from a humble backroom beginning. The PJ procurement and flaunting of Jolly Green Giant footprints has spread throughout the world. In some circles, it is considered a serious breech of etiquette not to display these historic symbols of pride, valor, and commitment. Today, new generations of PJs have proudly carried them throughout the world."
