Not sure about rules/protocols on medals on civvies but I always remembered my Navy retired WW II step dad wore his ruptured duck on his civvie suit all the rest of his life. And I know zero people who would give cheap krap to anyone who earned a medal if they wore it on civies. MOH at the top of the list. And don’t forget to salute.

Had to dig out my old copy of AR (Army Regulation) 670-1 “Wear and Appearance of Army Uniforms and Insignia”
Para 23–5. Medal of Honor recipients
Personnel awarded the Medal of Honor may wear the Army uniform at their pleasure, except under the circumstances
in paragraph 3–7k
Para 23–6. Medals on civilian clothes
Retired personnel and former members of the Army (as described above) may wear all categories of medals described in this regulation on appropriate civilian clothing. This includes clothes designed for veteran and patriotic organizations on Veteran’s Day, Memorial Day, and Armed Forces Day, as well as at formal occasions of ceremony and social functions of a military nature. Personnel may wear either full-sized or miniature medals. Personnel who wear medals on civilian clothes should place the medals on the clothing in approximately the same location and in the same manner as for the Army uniform, so they look similar to medals worn on the Army uniform.
