Kyle,
The Wings with my medals are US Army Aviator Wings. I do not have a miniature set of Naval Aviator wings and I cannot find miniature USMC Combat Air Crew wings. (I'm authorized all three)
Also please note that while here in Canada I only wear the miniatures of awards. I do not wear the "I was there" medals. This is due to the respect I hold for my Canadian hosts. In Canada a person may have served for 30 years and seen combat three or four times yet would wear only one, or possibly two, medals. Our system looks gaudy to them.
So yes, I play it down while in my adopted country. I get enough questions as it is.

I wear the kilt because: Swish + Swagger = Swoon.
