US Campaign Ribbons

[dfmacliam]

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..

Welcome from Eastern Washington State. Miniature medals and ribbons can be worn on a PC or any military doublet.

Any person serving their Country past or present has my deepest respect and admiration!

People wearing their earned medals, mini or ribbons should proudly wear them properly and hopefully to Military Protocal or as best they can.

I Salute You and Thank You for Your Service.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

This thread has been going on and on about this subject for quite some time now.
The original poster has not even logged on since last July to read your responses.

Therefore any further discussion is not going to help the original poster and is just degenerating into hard feelings and worthless fighting.

I am not going to delete this thread as there are one or two useful comments

But I am going to close this thread to further postings.

USCG UNIFORM REGS:
3.B.1. Dinner Dress Blue Jacket
Dress Coat Buttons
Substitute CG buttons for Navy buttons for both men and women.
Blue Evening Trousers
For men: CG Tartan or appropriate authorized Tartan optional IAW 4.E.3.
....

Have the rules changed since Feb 2009? I took a look at the USCG Dress Regs, and could find no mention of tartan or kilt other than for band use only. Not to stick a bee in your bonnet... so when did the regs. change?
