I agree with many others here. The Leatherneck tartan is not official. I appreciate your desire to honor your father and think wearing the Leatherneck tartan with respect is a great way to do that. Again, the title "Marine" and the Eagle Globe and Anchor is earned, and sacred to us. But please, honor your father's service. I am proud I was able to help continue the tradition he and others handed down to me and my comrades.
