Army Regulation 670-1, paragraph 30-6, says that former members of the Army (including active duty, reserves, or Army National Guard) may wear medals on civilian clothes (that’s “appropriate”) 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.” “Appropriate” civilian clothes include clothes designed for Veteran and patriotic organizations, such as VFW or American Legion uniforms.

*******************

Is the coronation of a foreign king have “a military nature”? And is a suit considered “appropriate civilian clothes”?

Regardless of how the rule might be interpreted, he looks like an idiot with those medals on a suit. Reminds me of those old Russian guys with 50 medals pinned on their old uniforms that they squeezed into. Although Kerry’s suit looks like a burlap sack hanging on a dried out Christmas tree.

It looks like blatant pomp-assery for him to wear his participation trophies in this manner.

Kerry with his many medals is nothing compared to these North Korean generals.

But it’s not too late for Johnny to catch up! Biden just needs to start awarding him medals for saving the climate.

I saw many people at the Coronation wearing medals on business suits.

Not that that entitles Kerry - traitor!
