According to the New York Post, 30 Major League Baseball teams celebrated Memorial Day with a camouflage promotion. The camouflage New Era hats were selling for about $40, depending on the team.
Each team's tweet about the hats looked like this:
Today is about honor and respect. Tip your @neweracap to those who’ve sacrificed to keep us safe #MemorialDay https://t.co/27f86jVBC8 pic.twitter.com/Obzsvn1O2v

It seems the teams had good intentions with the promotion. The league said that proceeds of the Memorial Day gear went to MLB charities, which fund programs for military veterans and their families.
