I am an American veteran as well and I will wear whatever I want,,wherever I want,,,

You should wear it proudly, as you have earned it and have the right to wear it or whatever you choose.
Thank you and to others who have or are currently serving....much respect to you.

Someone care to comment on this?
Yeah. You're 100% wrong on that one.

That would be about as Amusing as strapping a big ol American Flag on your back and strolling through the Korengal Valley all by your loansome.

The reason the vet clubs have no issues with the dominant clubs in their area is mainly due to respect. There is a protocol to be followed when starting any club in a new area.
For those who think they can wear whatever, wherever they want, you may be the toughest guy around but gettin surrounded by 10 or more 1%ers usually knocks the cocky out of em pretty quick. You disrespect them like that they WILL come after you. That being said, to the OP, nobody will hassle you. For one, there is no MC patch. For two, nobody messes with the vet clubs. They are generally respected by all. Thanks for your service and enjoy the ride
