Please just put the patches away. They shouldn’t be misused by sewing them onto non regulation locations or on personal gear.
I guess I don’t understand how it’s disrespectful or misuse. Not being confrontational, just curious. I’ve had plenty of former soldiers ask me about the patches, but I could only ever say they were given to me when I was a child by my late uncles who served in Vietnam. That’s all I really know.

Haven’t you seen Lt Col West with his biker leather vest with his unit patches on? You can go on line and buy a baseball cap with any unit patch, I got one myself.
