I would say a veteran has the right to wear his or her medals or ribbons or uniforms as they choose, even if it is not according to AR 670-1. (Or the regulation that covers their branch of service.)

Their service has earned them that right.

Now that being said I would not personally wear my ribbons or uniforms with intent of being disgraceful, however, there are some that would find how I choose to wear them disgraceful no matter what I did. I am not one to go with the standards society expects for me, unless I choose to. Long hair, facial hair, piercings, and tattoos etc... Some folks don't appreciate that.

Above mentioned expectations should not preclude a veteran from wearing their ribbons proudly.
