I purposely didn't wear flag patches on my uniforms. I served 22 years in the military (started officiated in my 18th year of active duty 2 months after 9/11). It felt like an empty attempt to show "patriotism" to me. I lived life everyday serving my country, I didn't need a display of symbolism to show my patriotism.
