In most cases, these badges are used as commemorative insignia or collector’s items rather than certified service-issued pieces. Check your unit or organization rules before placing them on active duty uniforms; otherwise they are ideal for shows, displays, and historical collections.

• Keep away from prolonged moisture and abrasive contact to preserve the enamel finish.
• Secure the clamp backing firmly when worn to prevent loss; inspect before use.
• Store in a soft pouch or display case to avoid scratches.
• Confirm uniform or organizational rules before wearing on official duty attire.
