Dust off Medals for Veterans Day
Stars and Stripes | By Leo Shane III | September
11, 2006
WASHINGTON — There’s a new dress code for Veterans Day this year.
Officials from the Department of Veterans Affairs are encouraging
all former service members to dust off their medals and wear them
next month as a show of pride and patriotism.
“You don’t have to put them on only if you’re in a parade,” said
VA Secretary Jim Nicholson. “Wear them when you go play golf. Wear
them when you go to the store. Let America know that you took that
oath and served.”
The idea is based on celebrations in countries such as Australia,
where veterans and their family members routinely display their
medals on national holidays.
Veterans organizations embraced Wednesday’s announcement.
“I think it’s a great way to increase patriotism,” said Terry
Shima, executive director of the Japanese American Veterans
Association. “More people will recognize our veterans, and more
people will think about our current armed forces.”
Herb Rosenbleeth, director of the Jewish War Veterans of the USA,
said two of his World War II veteran relatives recently pulled out
their old military decorations and have begun sharing stories with
the family.
“They did other things; they worked for 40 years and had good
lives, but that’s their biggest source of pride right now,” he
said. “They want to be able to talk about them.”
Nicholson said the initiative is completely voluntary, and he
reminded all veterans to check their service history if they have
questions about what honors they did or didn’t earn.
But he said he hopes that this will become a tradition for all
national holidays, and said he thinks it will benefit the current
services as much as the retired troops.
“I think this will start dialogues, inspire neighbors to talk to
veterans who live next door about their sacrifice,” he said. “I
hope it will help with recruiting, because our veterans are the
face of America.”
Wednesday’s announcement also featured several soldiers recovering
at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, who said they liked the idea
of carrying that military tradition well beyond their years in the
service.
“It’s just a great chance to show that it is something to be proud
of,” said Capt. Robert Klinger, injured in Iraq earlier this year
while serving with the 1st Armored Division.
Weiichi Kuwayama, a veteran who served with the 442nd Regimental
Combat Team during World War II, had to search a bit to find his
Purple Heart and Silver Star to wear to Wednesday’s announcement.
“Once you get them, you never wear them,” he said of the medals.
“You don’t want to parade around and show off. But now I have a
reason to put them on.” |
