How do I not offend verterans by using ventage military patches on a leather jacket.?
I have a vintage leather jacket that used to have military patches on both arms and the chest. For its restoration, how do I check into what patches I could use and the ones that I shouldn't? I had a similar jacket over 20 years ago that had military patches on the arms and chest that caused a confrontation with three veterans over the use of several of the patches. I was in the Navy. I do not want to offend any of my brothers and sisters in arms. Any input?
Take the patches to a local historian or an old veteran from the war. See if he can distinguish any of the patches. Do not wear ones that say you fought, you were injured, etc.
I think it's great you're being respectful about the patches. Do what you can, and if you can't find out enough information, maybe look up the patches on google. Keep looking for information sources. Museums, recruiting offices, veteren conventions and memorials, etc. If you carry the jacket into a convention and ask and explain about it, you would be accepted much more warmly and they would be perfectly willing to help you keep from offending anybody else.
