Default 3 patch set up on jacket?

Hey guy's I know there has ben some threads about this issue, But I figured I get some fresh thoughts and opinions on the matter and also on my situation. I am a multiple combat vet from Iraq and Afghanistan and am still currently serving in the Army National Guard as a section leader in a Mountain Infantry Company very proudly!!! I stand ready to deploy again if need be without a problem. My jacket that I wear has a three patch set up....The top patch say's COMBAT VET the middle patch is a SKULL WITH CROSSED RIFLES THAT SAY'S TALIBAN HUNTING CLUB which i got in Afghanistan. The bottom patch say's IRAQ / AFGHANISTAN. I bought the other two patches from ebay. The set up looks really cool and is why I had it done. Not trying to be something Im not just am very proud of what I have done, the U.S. military and my Country and during this conflict I feel its even more important than ever to let people know this......Thanks

Good luck to you and thanks for your service. Got nothing to worry about since there's no MC chapters in either of those countrys - yet.

You have definitely earned the right to wear them. Thank you for your service. Anyone who gives you **** about them should be sent over ther to dodge bullets themselves.

Wear 'em proudly, "with the thanks of a grateful nation."

And thanks for coming home safe.
