Copied from the Geedunk thread:

Was a polling judge at my local district and wore a ball-cap with ESWS and ribbons.

I got nods and a twinkle from a few and big smiles from older Viet Namese.

Mostly, I was disgusted with the countless and clueless, tatooed slobs decorated with retail versions of vet this, 'Nam that. They never knew what they were looking at, couldn't give straight answers on unit and were vague on where they were stationed. Ripped from the pages of Burkett's "Stolen Valor" these biker wannabes typically were accompanied by their calorically challenged 'Mommas' and left with her driving an aging smoke belcher. In most cases they're documentation was too screwed up for anything but a 'provisional' ballot.

Although too late for the election, those that weren't awarded medals can also wear old unit patches or anything related to their service. All of my old uniforms and patches and such were lost (ex-wife gave them away when I was at work long ago). I looked on eBay and found brand new patches still in their packages relatively cheap.

Online you can find and order patches, ranks, medals, almost anything you wish. I feel they are worth a few bucks to have them to wear and show the nation you served, regardless of when.
