CLEVELAND, Ohio -- If a security guard barred a Vietnam veteran wearing a military-themed vest from the Horseshoe Casino Cleveland last week, it was because the guard misinterpreted policy on proper dress, General Manager Marcus Glover said Monday.

The Horseshoe allows vests like the one worn by Marine veteran Gerald Doris, Glover said. He said the casino also does not bar active military personnel in uniform, as alleged by a friend of Doris'.

He said a guard ruled his vest violated a ban on clothing with "colors."
