1. Uniform

   A uniform is a type of clothing worn by members of an organization while participating in that organization's activity. Modern uniforms are most often worn by armed forces and paramilitary organizations such as police, emergency services, security guards, in some workplaces and schools and by inmates in prisons. In some countries, some other officials also wear uniforms in their duties; such is the case of the Commissioned Corps of the United States Public Health Service or the French prefects. For some public groups, such as police, it is illegal for non members to wear the uniform. Other uniforms are trade dresses.

Examples of uniform in a Sentence

1. John Kasich:

   This is sort of symptomatic, 'I voted for him. I wear that uniform.' --'I didn't vote for him. I wear a different uniform.' I think people who voted for him, who see things they don't like, have to recognize that. And people who didn't vote for him have to recognize when he does something that's positive. We want to be for our President, because if we are tearing each other apart, nothing will ever get done.

2. Tara Ruby:

   Through the guidance of my military friends, the Fort Bliss P3T Program and Breastfeeding in Combat Boots, our Garrison command and our Public Affairs, we were able to show that even our mommies in uniform can provide for their babies, breastfeeding their babies doesn't make them less of a soldier, I believe it makes them a better one. Juggling the tasks and expectations of a soldier, plus providing for their own in the best way they possibly can, makes (these) ladies even stronger for it.

3. Jordan Libowitz:

   Military members may not participate in political campaigns, this is likely the reason why they're hesitant to participate, because Defense Department guidelines are pretty clear about what they can and can not do.

5. Isaac Newton:

   Every body continues in its state of rest, or of uniform motion in a right line, unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed upon it.
