Question for servicemembers/volunteer firefighters...

[Earth_First]

Is it not acceptable to wear/display a 'Mourning Band' on the anniversary of the loss of life in service?

I know this isn't typical of military service, bit figured maybe someone with a military background would know the protocol.

Thanks...

1. No, not authorized on the US armed service's uniform. nt

2. This is what AR 670-1 (the Army dress code) says

8. Mourning brassard. The brassard consists of plain black, or black crepe material. Personnel wear the brassard on the Army uniform, at the discretion of the wearer, only when actually present at a funeral, or en route to or from the funeral. Funeral escorts wear the brassard when prescribed by the Secretary of the Army (see fig 28-161).

You wouldn't wear it on an anniversary.
