MEDALS should be given out for
things like this. Or
this.
Earned thru some act, deed, sacrifice, something like that.
The "125 gong" and things like that aren't true medals (to most of us, at least, that I know). We have a different name for them.
Shit-nickels.
The worst thing about shit-nickels? If someone can get enough of them, when they're standing in DEU on Remembrance Day, things like that, Joe and Jane Public see them the same as someone wearing GCSs with 2 bars, a SWASM and a MMV, for example. But the "gong wearer" might have on the 125, 2 of the QJs and a CD. Add a "safe driving" pin and voila. ^-^
I don't and won't have the biggest rack on any parade I'm ever on, but I'm proud to say I also won't be wearing anything like a 125 or hopefully, 150 gong. If they do come out with them, give mine to Bieber or some kid who made a cool science project.
