If there are any Vietnam era Rangers still serving in the US Army today (the youngest could be no younger than 48), then, yes. Soldiers who have served in combat in companies who wore unit tabs such as those worn by Rangers are authorized to wear the tab on their left shoulder. In fact, those who do not may be considered out of uniform.

How many people enlist for army rangers?
The term Army Ranger is thrown around frequently but it actually refers to a person who serves/served in the 75th Ranger Regiment. At any given time there are roughly 2,000-2,200 Rangers serving in 3 Ranger Battalions and 75th Ranger Regimental Headquarters. Many people mistakenly believe that a soldier who graduates from the US Army's Ranger School are, in fact, Rangers. In reality they have only graduated from a school. Some of this confusion comes about because all soldiers who serve in the 75th Ranger Regiment must, at some point, complete Ranger School. Ranger School is open to all soldiers, primarily combat arms, and being awarded a Ranger Tab makes many people believe that they are Rangers. The modern day 75th Ranger Regiment traces its lineage back through Vietnam, WWII, The Revolutionary War and even back to England when men would protect the king's forest from poachers. They would ask "how far did you range today?" which led to the term Ranging/Rangers.
