Full Size Medals & Miniature Medals & The Law
For those who may not remember:
Full size medals are only worn on the uniform or civilian attire during the day;
Miniature medals are only worn on the uniform or civilian attire in the evening;
Full size and miniature medals are never worn at the same time.
Ribbons, insignia of rank, and trade badges are not intended to be worn on civilian attire.
In the United States it is against the law to wear Decorations or Medals to which you are not entitled (google "STOLEN VALOR ACT" for details).
Article 419 of the criminal code of Canada prohibits the wearing of Orders, Decorations and Medals by anyone other than the individual who was awarded the honour.
In the United Kingdom, in Europe, and elsewhere, other laws regarding the wearing of Orders, Decorations, and Medals may be in force. Check with your national veteran's association for those laws which may apply in your country of residence.
