Why not put licenses on military logos or names and any money raised could be donated to veteran groups? The Hells Angels trademarked their logo and besides having the crap beaten out of you for producing it to sell, one would also face legal consequences.

100% Right........... I was waiting to see how long the Navy would jump on this grenade. All are 1000% right on the fact that now every military branch will be filling a trademark(s) and patent(s). This will end up effecting a lot of Associations, Company and small business'.

Very SAD!!!!
