No, I don't. The Star of David is a symbol of Judaism. I don't need the symbol to show people I'm Jewish. I don't need to "show" anyone that I'm Jewish. If it comes up in conversation, I'll mention it. If it doesn't, I have no need to show it off. I pay homage to the country. I don't need a middle-man (or middle-cloth, as the case may be) to honor the country. Living the best that I can, earning my way, obeying the law, giving back when possible, are how I honor my country.
