Not to be contrary, but IF the ribbons she wore are authorized by her department and were all authorized specifically for her, then she is in the right on wearing them.
To not wear the authorized ribbons on a dress uniform is an infraction of the uniform rules.
If she was following her department’s rulebook, then it is the rulebook we should be criticizing, and not the person following it. Her superiors are to fault - not her.
The ribbons are not PD award ribbons. They are ribbons issued by the U.S. Department of Defense. The Sanford PD purchased them used from the local Army-Navy Store.
The officer-ette shilling for the State obviously was not in WW2....by what right does she wear ribbons indicating she was? Have service and valor ribbons worn by vets now become watered down so that emotion and not facts validates the fake and improper wearing of military ribbons and awards?
Please read the last paragraph of the article linked to the above post for more clarification. Thanks.
