both rings were given to me by my wife, so they, and the necklaces have meaning to me.

I mean, that's all very nice, but the question is, do you pity the fool?

I only wear two: wedding ring and a Tiger Eye my grandmother gave me back in the early eighties. I do carry my Dad's high school ring and one of my Mom's on my keychain.

That ring reminds me of those goofy Concealed Carry badges some fools, somewhere will buy: https://www.badgeandwallet.com/concealed-carry

I do wear a Vietnam-era veterans ball cap on Veteran's Day though - the ONLY time I do it.

Dont remember that "fad". My drilled coin has a lot more meaning than just a dollar with a hole in it....

As does mine, my departed Dad drilled the silver dollar for an ornament and I cherish it to this day.

The more I read the OP’s postings on military and vet matters, the more convinced I become he is a compete fraud.

Being in the electrical trade, I’ve never worn a ring.

Smart and totally understand, I worked with a man that got electrocuted on one of the "yellow gear" F-14 "huffers" used to start the planes when his watch got snagged in the wrong place - not a pretty way to go.
