Oh go ahead and wear it with pride, just don't claim to be a member when you are not. I wear a NYFD hat every day, and I have never touched a fire hose! I just wear it to show support.
This used to be an issue with me as a former frogman (SEAL). We used to get upset when folks wore t-shirts and hats with the SEAL "Trident" logo on them. That's all passe. Now we just assume that anyone wearing the logo is a supporter or friend or familiy member.
Go for it, wear it with pride, they are "your team!"

I never had a problem with anyone wearing a GI logo shirt or civilian Basebal cap. My only big itch comes from civilian LEO's who adopt SEAL/EOD/Airborne Qualification badges "officially" as part of their uniform. Prior service qualified and earned no problem. If ya never earned the budwiser, crab or lead wings in service then don't wear em as a civilian LEO.
It tells of ones real morals IMO.
Wear those caps and tee-shirts with pride and tell folks why ya like em loud and clear.
HUA !!......Stay Safe !
