You do NOT where your medals with civilian clothes! Well, I guess you could in a ceremony of some sort such as VFW, etc. But they're not awarded to be worn to a disco on Saturday night.

Don't blame me!

Kerry said you get a "tiny ribbon" to wear with our civilian clothes ...

(They DO wear medals on civilian clothes that way in the Soviet Union.... Maybe he is just confused about which military he served under.)

With one exception I am familiar with, that is wearing of the Purple Heart as a lapel pin on a suit. Have seen this on one or two occasions. One of the military analysts on Fox, a retired army Captain, name escapes me, wears his PH on a lapel. When worn in this manner, it is a miniature medallion only, not suspended from a ribbon.
