I purchased this set of patches to put on my motorcycle vest. Then has second thoughts about the wording on the round one
I served in the USCG from 76-86, Honorably discharged as a GM1 On the round patch it says ""Our Brothers Are Never Forgotten"  Do you think as a NON Vietnam Vet, that it would be inappropriate for me to wear the round patch. I do not want to portray myself in any way as a Vietnam Vet or insult any Vietnam Vet by wearing the patch. |

No. Motorcycle vests are never appropriate.

I heard if you have 3 patches on your vest the 1%ers get mad.

As long as the vest isn't the only thing you're wearing, you should be fine. |

Lots of things in this thread.
No, you should never wear a leather motorcycle vest. If you must wear one, I don't see a problem with your patches, although you really shouldn't wear a motorcycle vest. I was not aware that the MIA/POW issue was unique to the Viet Nam era, I had this crazy notion that our nation had lost members of its fighting forces and couldn't account for them in pretty much all conflicts. |

It took off with the Vietnam period, but you are correct it is not just about Vietnam. This is the type of vest it will go on.  |

It's never inappropriate for ANY American to wear that.
