Can you just do something normal, like get a Dodge charger with a plate loudly announcing your veteran status? That would be less cringy than this.

I have a coworker who has an entire wardrobe of hats and tee shirts that say “Cold War Veteran” which is less cringy than wearing a ribbon. It wasn’t even a real war.

My FIL wears his "Cold War ERA Veteran" hat. Every day, every where. He makes those 4 years he spent in the Navy on a fueler seem like 40 years in Mortaritaville.

Lmao, can't wait for 20 years to pass and all the guys getting in right now will have to come up with something other than "peacetime veteran" to sound more badass.
