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.

Yes I agree, as long as it's done respectfully, which I'm sure it is.

On a side note, after watching Braveheart recently, I decided to search the internet for stuff about Sir William Wallace. It really opened my eyes as to how "young" American history really is. It's pretty mind boggling when you try and research history. Has me very interested though
