Veteran Thrown Out Of Pizza Hut Is Causing Outrage Recently, a former Marine was thrown out of a Pizza Hut in Wisconsin for wearing a jacket that had U.S. Marine Corps patches on it. Apparently, the manager of the Pizza Hut thought that the symbols were gang-related. I was wearing my black leather jacket that has 4 patches and the back of the jacket is embroidered. One patch says USMC, the patch says Marine Combat Veteran, the 3rd patch is the unit patch for 3rd Marines 3rd Battalion and there is a patch of the US flag on it. The back of the jacket is embroidered with the Marine Corps Emblem, the veteran posted to his Facebook page. The veteran had only been sitting for seconds, when the manager approached him an asked him to remove his jacket. He added that the Pizza Hut does not condone gang symbols. The veteran decided to leave the restaurant instead.
