<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I am glad for this change too, but despite this positive change I always wore it even when it wasn't authorized, and I am sure many others did too.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>You can google it, but there was an ALARACT message, ALARACT 140/2007, that authorized the wear of KIA/MIA bracelets.
