In a regular meeting or outing, I would possibly agree. Your former military status is not relevant at a funeral for someone else. Humility is lost on many in today's society.
I'm quite sure the deceased will have a military funeral. Wearing miniature jump wings is totally appropriate.
I've had to present several burial flags to surviving family members. I wear a suit with my Army Retired pin.

The CAM building will take up the spot presently occupied by the ROTC building. ROTC is being moved somewhere else on campus but I'm not sure of the exact location.

Florida did it according to Florida law. Spanberger & Co. trampled over Virginia law, that’s the difference.

Spanberger tried to slicky girl this bill and simply didn't follow the rules.
Her TDS got in the way of thinking clearly.

I retired last year at 73 with 50 years total government service. Don't have a lot of savings but between military and civil service retirement, social security and VA disability, let's just say that I have a substantial income.
My wife and I have both had some health issues, but we're muddling through and with the appointments we both have, that keeps us somewhat occupied.
I'm tied up with Endymion business about 3 months a year between krewe functions and simple parade prep such as preparing throws (i.e. rolling t shirts and packing them to load).
Do I miss work, absolutely NOT!!!!

Went to both last year...Rocco's jello shots were absolutely awful. Showed up at Barrett's after the championship game, not a lot of LSU people there and a smaller place than I thought it would be.
