JPL Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 A simple difference in regulations? Hi Frank, Thanks for the picture of this new medal. Yes, It'll be interesting to see which countries allow their troops to wear this medal. Jean-Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Symmonds Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Hello All - The wearing if the medal by the US troops, at that parade, was a fantastic gesture. So, if it is against regulations, the person who made that descision for the troops to wear them, should be applauded - even if it is just a once off wearing of the medal. As so often said on this forum - "jusy my few cents worth" regards Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if meant as a simple gesture of courtesy, it was an extremely good call by whoever made it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
