I like to draw as little attention to myself as possible, so unless I'm ordered to be part of a formal parade I do remembrance day my way - dress nice, warm coat, comfortable shoes - no beret or medals for me! I'd much rather be standing in the crowd with the wife and kids, so we can teach our kids why we do what we do, than to be marching up and down the street in uniform. I attended Ride To The Wall last year, which was also full of beret and medal wearers, only this time mixed with bikers cuts and leather jackets!
At the end of the day, if people want to wear medals that they have been awarded then that's fine, they're obviously proud of what they've done. If my kids want to wear my medals, I'm fine with that too, because it shows that they're proud of what I've done.
But when I get to the end of my 22, the only place my beret is going to end up is in the bin.
