A picture of an apple is not an apple.

Lt. Gen. Reginald Centracchio, adjutant general emeritus of the Rhode Island National Guard, left, presents David Morales, 8, from Coventry, R.I., with a challenge coin during an appearance on WPRO-AM's John DePetro radio show in East Providence, R.I., Friday, June 18, 2010. Morales created the hat he is wearing to honor American troops to fulfill an assignment in his second-grade class at Tiogue School in Coventry. School officials told him he could not wear the cap he decorated, saying it violated the district's no-weapons policy because the toy soldiers were carrying tiny weapons. Centracchio gave David the challenge coin as well as a certificate that allows David to call himself a brigadier general.
