Agree with you there, Dana...it really bothers me to see the celebrities and even students here at the college wearing military insignia (like a Combat Infantryman's badge, etc.) as jewelry...not only that, but it's illegal.

I don't classify what the Australians do with that, because that is honouring a relative who served, and usually they only wear them on ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day, 11 November.

By allowing these youngsters to wear grand-dad's medals, they will learn what they were for and what it cost to win them, and respect will follow.

Cheers,
