I Australia Sons and Daughters or Grandkids can wear the medals (on their right side) of their parents or grandparents on days such as ANZAC day and Rememberance Day.
Is this the case for those in the US on Memorial Day??

There are no rules! Wear what ever you wish on your vest! As long as you respect what it is there for! Being ex-Navy and Vietnam Vet, I am proud to have served and respect all those who have served or serving now. Wear it with pride!

BTW, find a good way to keep them pins attached, nothing pisses me off more than losing some of those pins that cant be replaced. I searched hi and low to find a unit pin just to almost lose the thing while riding. If anyone has an idea other than soldering the backers on, let me know.
