Today, in addition to a kilt, I wore miniature service medals because of Memorial Day. This is the first time anything else I've worn has upstaged the kilt.

The only people to comment on the medals were three veterans who wanted to know what the middle one (Army of Occupation, Germany) was. I hope this will encourage other veterans to wear their medals as appropriate.

I think that grateful recognition of the services of Viet Nam and more recent veterans is grievously overdue.
