What would Sgt Meyer be doing at the time?
I was questioning what he'd wear at his MOH ceremony in Sept.

Why didn't you say it that way then? We are not mind readers. Would have made the answer a lot simpler.

He would be able to wear probably anything he wanted... Suit OR his Dress Blues

Since he is still affiliated with the USMC (IRR), dress blues are appropriate (as long as he can still fit in them and has a regulation haircut). If not, then a civilian suit and tie would suffice. If he is a member of the Marine Corps League, then their red blazer and cover would work.

Does it really matter what he wears? He's not active duty no more, a suit and tie will be just fine.

In the past, people who were no longer on active duty (or active reserves) wore a suit and tie.

Nope. It doesn't really matter what he wears. As the op stated he was just curious so he posted the question. Nothing wrong with that. Lighten up dude!

I think, and I could be wrong, that a MOH recipient can wear his uniform at any time he wants for the rest of his life, provided it is an appropriate occasion and he should still be able to wear it in an acceptable manner (haircut, etc). Seems to me that it would be appropriate to wear his blues to be awarded his MOH if that is what he desired. I think I'm right......but, I have been wrong once or twice before.
Thanks a bunch guys!!! You know I was just damn curious with the IRR thing. I heard on CBC yesterday that Mr. Meyer is "considering" returning to active duty. I heard someplace else he might do it at...
They should be playing it on TV, they did when the two Soldiers got it if I'm not mistaken. If not, it'll be recorded and you can find the video without trouble online afterwards.

Im my opinion, anyone awarded the Medal of Honor should be able to receive it in his birthday suit if he wants to, though it may not be appropriate. It is not for us to decide nor speculate what he will wear. I just appreciate what he, and many before him and everyone of you have done for our country, our God, our Corps, and most of all each other! Semper Fi Marines!
