Re Todd's comments about wearing medals as a tribute to your forebearers; for some time I wore my dad's wings from the WWII Army Air Corps on the lapel of a sport coat as a homage to him (he's still around...don't get me wrong). When he took off for a reunion in Holland I bought him a new leather flight jacket and a set of cloissone badges for the USAAF and the 8th Army Air Force to wear on it. I felt that I had to give him the wings back for this event and I hope that the remembers to pass them on to me when he takes off...
