Gir.s—take off that unauthorized insignia! If your boy friend
gives you his U. S. pins or even bombardier wings—don’t wear them.
It’s against the law unless you belong to the branch of the armed
service which the emblem represents.
In neighboring cities around Camp Adair, members of the fairer
sex wear war medals as prominently as slacks despite the fact that
the War Department has the authority to prosecute violators with
a fine of $300 or six months imprisonment.
Civilians should get into the spirit of the law, and it is up to
soldiers at Camp Adair and surrounding cantonments to cooperate
with the government.
There’s a reason for this law. Insignias mean something. It is
an outright impersonation to wear them if you do not represent the
pin or hash mark which you display!
Would you forge a check, girls? No matter what your answer is,
you are actually doing the same thing when you wear service emblems
which you do not represent.
Since the WAACS, SPARS, WAVES, and MARINETS have come
into existence, it is difficult enough to distinguish between civilians
and service men and women. When you wear a service man’s insignia*,
you also forge. You misrepresent yourself. You take on the glory
of the armed forces which you do no deserve.
If you want money, you should work to earn it. If you want to
wear service emblems, join some branch of Uncle Sam’s family and
earn the right to wear it!
