Wearing medals on Rememberance Day and Veterans Day are in a simular fashion, since the VA has recently encouraged Veterans to wear their medals on Veterans Day.. I think the point Jock was making, was refering to some people wanting to wear their medals on a regular basis, which is not encouraged in the States.. there is a time and place for medals to be worn, and the directives of such, are listed within each branch of the military service uniform regulations. If one would read back earlier in this thread, I believe this has been covered.
There is a certain protocol when wearing the kilt, that cannot be disputed.. on either side of the pond, while individual preferences may be a bit muddled.. the proper wear is unchanged.. even amoung the military units worldwide that wear the kilt, do so according to the protocol established by Highland traditions..
just because one is not from that side of the pond, should their traditions be thrown out the door..
