I can't. Becasue both medals come from two different thankful parties, wishing to express their thankfulness. If allowing that expression to one, why banning the other?
That is like a state visit - and only one flag being shown. |
Medals are
not word so
other people can "express their thankfulness".
Else you should be able to wear multipul medals from different people showing the same
thing.
Medals
are worn so that
the person wearing them can show his glorious achievements.
One glorious achievement: one medal.
As it happens, my father was in Borneo in the 50s/60s. After failing to join the
army due to his height, he followed some of his friends in the SAS over to Borneo where
he was armed and served with them on long Jungle patrols and occasional actions for the
next few years.
As he was not a official member of the armed forces he didn't receive any medals.
