Patriotism is one of the main reasons most join the armed forces. Proclaim your patriotism proudly by taking pride in your military uniform ; give it a look of dignity and pride by wearing military medals. A proud soldier always displays the integrity they have by keeping an orderly uniform. Medals should always give off an attractive shine to catch the eye of others. A freshly polished medal, gleaming with dignity shows that you respect your look, and you are honored to wear this uniform for your country. Make sure to polish your medal regularly; no matter what the occasion you should always look your best. When you are in public, you should always represent this country with pride through your uniform. Whenever you attend community function such as a church service, or visiting the local nursing home, your uniform should display the elements of dignity and success. No matter what the occasion, by decorating your service dress with an honorable selection of military medals you will have a sense of pride and a drive to succeed. The news that RAF personnel have been subjected to abuse while wearing their uniforms off-duty has prompted outrage.
The airmen, from RAF Wittering, near Peterborough, have been banned by the station commander from wearing their military uniforms away from the base because of the negative response they received. They were targeted "because of their involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan", says the Times.
The Mail calls the abuse "despicable", while the Express describes the perpetrators as "beneath contempt". Do you think soldiers will become targets if they wear their uniforms in public? Would service personnel wearing their military boots off-duty really foster respect and make a difference to the public perception of them?
For that matter, what is the public perception of our troops?
Even if you disagree with the battles they are fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan, they are risking their lives every day and isn't it unfair to blame them for the decisions to go to war?
