(e) A person not on active duty who served honorably in time of war in the Army, Navy, Air Force, or Marine Corps may bear the title, and, when authorized by regulations prescribed by the President, wear the uniform, of the highest grade held by him during that war.

Refer to any applicable Army prescribed regs.

as far as I have heard we are not going back to the pink and greens, just the jacket style.As fae a which, if you want to sped the money get the ASU's, they have had soldiers that are getting awarded the MOH issued new ASU's. So if you have to buy either one I would go to the ASU's
