Ok guys I want to use your brains for honoring my friends that are in the military or National Guard. They are alive and well. And I’ve thanked them for the service that they are or have preformed for our country.
Some think that’s too much.
Sometimes I feel that’s not enough.
What I was thinking about was wearing there unit patch on my jacket till they are out and back as a civilian.
I don’t want to cross any unethical lines for them or anyone else.


Again, Thanks for those that are serving or who have served.

That would be a good way to honor them. Make sure you ask them to send you a patch though, and don't just buy it yourself. Then when folks ask about the patches, you can tell them about your friends and how they sent you the patches, and it can't be conceived as you trying to pass yourself off as a veteran.

That is what worries me. I have no ill intent on deception. I was going to put them on my lower back of my jacket.

Put a nice big label above the patches:

"For my friends"

Thanks Brumbear, That was well stated. I did not think of that.
