Its not like you are wearing it to try and score the military discount at Dennys.

You're good.

Just be sure to wear your green beret with it.

What are you going to say if someone says 'Thank you for your service'?


I simply say, not me I just support the Navy which generally leads to interesting conversations including one time with a plank owner of the ship's hat I was wearing.

^^^^^^^^

If wearing a hat or shirt with a ship’s name or number on it is somehow offensive, the museum gift shops (that support the restoration)would go out of business.

This seems like a ridiculous extension (by a few) of the definition of stolen valor.

It's a non issue. We in the military are grateful for the industries which support our needs. You earned, wear it.

I played hockey with a guy who has a really really nice F22 Raptor pilot jacket. I thought it was a game thing, but it turns out he's in the documentary/video biz and the jacket was a gift from a squadron he did some work with. Don't sweat it.

Regretfully, I never served in the Military but am happy to contribute to products that increase lethality as well as their safety.

Am I a poser to where that shirt in public since I never served?


no - not a poser

it's a shirt - you are not passing yourself off as a veteran

no worries

I was reviewing Ohio special license plates last year. There is a whole series of military plates. I could get a license plate that is “Vietnam veteran during conflict “. The plate has an American flag with Vietnam on the left and Veteran on the bottom.

I enlisted in 1969 but served in US and Germany. I would not feel right getting a plate that says Vietnam veteran.

There are also plates with Vietnam and the ribbon displayed but I don’t think the general public would notice the difference.

Not same circumstance but similar situation.
