You'd choose who to give this to, a little button in the shape of a cape with the tag line printed on it. Nurses, firefighters, police officers, members of the military, etc.
Even if they didn't wear it it would just be a nice little token of appreciation for the people who keep us safe.
Of course
the little joke is, technically, with that button on they're now wearing a cape sort of kind of. A fun way to show respect that anybody receiving one would obviously appreciate.

Assaulting me like that would be a very bad idea on your part. |
|
| |
Threats of physical assault to other posters on this site are very much not okay. |
|
| |
If this really caught on and became popular, then it would be more effective to wear a cape printed with the slogan "not all heroes wear buttons". |
|
| |
By the way, the original idea was for a cape shaped button with that message, it wasn't added later. Obviously. |
|
| |
What ever happened to capes anway? Maybe it's time to give out actual capes to people who serve. |

I see this as more of a tongue in cheek sort of thing. When a store manager deftly puts a Karen in her place, or a passerby shuts up an irritating child. When someone loudly voicing unpalatable opinions in the public square gets shut down by someone who knows their side of the issue well enough to call them out in their own terms. |
|

Kind of makes me want to keep a couple on hand for such occasions. |
|

I do think there's a big need for little acts of kindness like this in the world. Just a little thing to counter all the hate out there. Would it change the world? No, but might make somebody smile. Friendly with a little humor to it. |
|
| |
Also, as someone who HAS worn a uniform, I wouldn't take offense either. |
|
| |
Thank you for your service brother. |

It's the rare loudmouth who will become silent on his own when called out with reason. "Calling out" with force is evil |
|
| |
I’ve got it! Stickers would be much cheaper and people would still get the same message of kindness and appreciation. |

21 you’ve inspired me, I think I’ll actually do this and keep some in my wallet. I like making strangers smile. Was chatting with a truck driver the other day and as I walked away he came after me and said “Hey!” and handed me a calendar from his trucking company. It’s on my office wall. I love that thing, that little gesture totally made my day. |

Makes me want to pay it forward. |

A1 I know YOU feel that way. I get it, I do, but the fact is people society considers heroes complain LOUDLY and FREQUENTLY about doing a "thankless job". Nurses go on strike over it, teachers go on strike over it, etc etc etc. Military and cops too, you ever see their Facebook pages? They can't STAND that they aren't treated like royalty, like knights lording over medieval serfs. Not all of them, of course, but enough to spoil the bunch. And I say this as a veteran, who proudly rocks my Article 15 Clothing Company hoodie whenever I take a taxi fare on base. So my attitude now is, well ya know what, here's your thanks. A cute little sticker. Maybe now you'll quit your whining and focus more on doing your job better. |

What happened to capes? I dunno. Bad rap from Dracula, Darth, and the Incredibles? |
|
| |
At lear they didn't say "hey you're a vet, right?" |
|
| |
"Great because my cat is sick, she is not eating her food, what do you think might be wrong with her?" |
|
| |
Actually poc, this is mostly meant for veterinarians. Top of my list of unsung heroes. |
