I wear minature medals when formal. I wear my ribbon bars and combat aircrew wings at what I consider appropriate occasions. For example, I usually wear either miniature ribbons or full size ribbons at Scottish Games, as it is likely the colors will be paraded. I figure if the Corps says I can do it, I earned them, and I will wear them.

I now return you to your regularly schedule thread.
In looking up the law allowing the saluting of the American flag while in civian attire, I came across this.

I wear my old Battalion (now disbanded) crests on the epaulets of my Argyle jacket, just as I did with my Class A's.
