These aiguillettes should not be confused with lanyards, which are cords also worn from the shoulder (or around the neck), but do not have the pointed aiguillette tips and are usually of fibre rather than gold or silver wire, and often not braided.
The 'City of Brotherly Love' is known as Philadelphia in  Pennsylvania. In 1682. William Penn established this city as the  capital of Pennsylvania. The city's name is derivâ¦ed from the two  Greek words 'philos' meaning loving and 'adelphos' that means  brother.
Last Tuesday I rode the Acela from Philadelphia to New York. It is a convenient, comfortable way to travel between the City of Brotherly Love and the Big Apple. I caught the 8:35 a.m. departure from 30th Street Station, which is one of Amtrak's grandest stations. It's what a major railway station ought to be.
