Once a Veteran, always a veteran for the most part. You can change or lose professions.

They also have patches for state final officials, so I would guess they do not want to just have multiple patches warn all over the place for something that can change.

I have required a guy on my football crew to wear one or we are going to have to fine him or something.

But this is not totally unusual to have a distinction on some non-military uniform to have some distinction for the military. A single mom can stop being single by getting married or living with someone.
