About the medals issue...

[Camaero]

I am in the business of making vest extenders for Harley riders (among other apparel items) and I recently encountered the same sort of problem. A guy was going to start making some very nice emblems which sported the logos for the Marines, Air Force, Army, etc... They looked great on these vest extenders and there was a lot of interest from the guys who served wanting to sport these things. Well this guy was on the phone with people in the Pentagon dealing with these copyright issues! It is ridiculous! Number one, don't they have anything better to do over there in the Pentagon? A war to win maybe? Number two, what a moronic move it is to make it harder for people to show their military pride! Finally, who the hell pays for the military? Of course tax payers do. Shouldn't they have the right their own military’s logos?

It's kind of frustrating in my opinion.
