Frankly, I would say no. I have a set of medals. It is my right to decide where my medals go. I have my grandfather's medals from World War II. I have my father's medals from his service in the Canadians Forces. I now have those two sets of medals because they have been given to me for my keeping and presentation.
I will determine where my medals go—to my sons—the same as their great-grandfathers and their grandfathers. Those are our rights.
