Veterans Encouraged to Wear Military Medals on Memorial Day
Posted at 02:22 PM on Saturday, May 26, 2007 by Virginia A/Q
Nicholson: Show Pride, Teach Younger Generations
"Wearing their medals demonstrates the deep pride our veterans have in their military service, said Nicholson. It also reminds all American citizens -- especially the young -- about the sacrifices our veterans have made for their freedom.
He encouraged veterans to display their medals no matter what they are doing on Memorial Day, but especially when attending public events. Nicholson said he believes the movement will become a tradition. Nicholson first urged veterans to wear their military decorations last Veterans Day under a program called "Veterans Pride Initiative.
