Not exactly.

****Sec. 704. Military medals or decorations

any decoration or medal authorized by Congress for the armed forces

awarded to the members of such forces, or the ribbon, button, or
rosette of any such badge, decoration or medal, or any colorable
imitation thereof, except when authorized under regulations made
pursuant to law, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not
more than six months, or both.
(b) Congressional Medal of Honor. -

(1) In general. - If a decoration or medal involved in an
offense under subsection (a) is a Congressional Medal of Honor,
in lieu of the punishment provided in that subsection, the
offender shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more
