I have to go with MacMillan of Rathdown on this one. This same point of view was given before over cap badges of regiments. It was generaly agreed that if you didn't serve with them, you have no point wearing them. The same goes for medals. Most posters seemed to agree on that, but now that it's a tartan based on a ribbon, it is being suggested that "how dare you say I can't ware that". There are Masons here. How would they feel if non-Masons started to wear a Mason tartan made only for Masons, or wear Mason rings. The "I'm horroning them" stuff goes only so far. If people want to honnor vets, serving members, or any organization that they personaly do not belong to, they can do it by letting these people have their own personal symbols and find something else to wear!
