While I think Vets should be recognized, I think others might see it as a "notice me" thing. However, anyone who views a vet in a negative light for wearing a flag pin needs to get their fucking head examined--sadly there are probably people like this. Most people will likely just see it as something you're wanted to do, and not really form any opinions. To be honest, if you're going to an interview, it is pretty likely that the interviewer already knows about your service to our nation. Hope this helped--it was just my opinion. Good luck at the superday.

Thank you for your input. That is what I figured, majority wouldn't care or even notice. I like how it looks and It's a possible conversation starter for anyone with a similar background. Obviously you can't please everyone, but Its for Bank of AMERICA so I can't imagine they are going to be opposed to a flag pin. I guess I was wondering if a flag pin universally means you're a veteran, or you're just patriotic? I've only seen vets and politicians wear them.
