Why does one wear a kilt made from their clan tartan? To Honor their Heritage!!! At least that's how I see it.
It always makes the heart sad to see someone suggest a viewpoint should be dismissed simply because it disagrees with their opinion. While I certainly respect your desire to honour your heritage, since I am apart of three organisations that honour and perpetuate the memory of Northern Civil War & Spanish-American War soldiers, as an educator and a former NPS ranger, I was taught that the ultimate honour of those with no voice to make sure I was as accurate as possible.
