The 97-year-old served in the Sixth Marine Division, fighting in Okinawa during WWII.
In a pinch, the family took to Facebook to offer the community a $50 reward for its return.
"I just saw that the hat was missing and it pulled at my heartstrings," Brewster resident Laura Strunk told NBC10 Boston."I have veterans in my family and you could see how proud he was of that hat." After seeing the post, Strunk, who didn’t know the family personally, decided to double the reward money.
"Just showing a 97-year-old veteran that people care about what they did for this country, and that they're not forgotten," she said."And even if the hat isn’t found, people still care about them."Some Cape Codders took it upon themselves to search the area, making sure that this is a mission this Marine, will not take on alone.
“People have been walking all over Eastham trying to find this hat,” said Ida. “Just keep your eyes open for it. If you see it.”Anyone who finds the missing hat is asked to drop it off at the Elks Lodge at 10 McKoy Rd in Eastham.

Adolescents with Few Friend Alternatives are Particularly Susceptible to Influence from Friends - Journal of Youth and AdolescenceFriend influence in adolescence is well-documented, but the characteristics that contribute to individual differences in susceptibility to influence are not well understood. The present study tests the novel hypothesis that within a friend dyad, having fewer friends than one’s partner (i.e., relative lack of alternatives) increases susceptibility to influence as it reduces dissimilarity and thereby promotes compatibility. Drawn from diverse California (USA) public middle schools, participants were 678 adolescents (58% girls) in reciprocated friendships that were stable from the fall to the spring of sixth grade (M = 11.53 years old). Longitudinal Actor-Partner Interdependence Models assessed peer influence, operationalized as individual change in the direction of increased friend similarity. Consistent with the hypothesis, partners with fewer friends were influenced by partners with relatively more friends in self-reported social anxiety and somatic complaints, as well as teacher-reported academic engagement and prosocial behavior. Academic engagement was the only domain wherein partners with more friends were also influenced by partners with relatively fewer friends. For those with few friends, conformity (i.e., becoming more similar to a partner) can be an important strategy to promote compatibility for strengthening existing friendships.
