Thanks for chiming in guys. I realize the comparison to camo is not a great comparison, but I could not think of another off the top of my head. The whole thought just came to me as I was driving home yesterday when I was stuck in traffic and letting my mind wander.

And I probably worded it too strongly by saying the "right" to wear a tartan. I was more looking for others opinions on the topic. I would feel comfortable wearing any of them just to show my support and respect for our troops, past and present. But I could also wear the Air Force tartan to respect my uncle who retired from the USAF, the Army tartan to show respect for my wife's father who is a retired CWO from the Army, and the Navy tartan to honor my grandfather on my father's side, who served in the Navy in WWII.

And Todd, sorry again! I promise to remember the Heraldry and Tartans sub-forum next time! Mea culpa!
