Some Police organizations are allowing their officers to wear their military decorations on their uniforms. I've never been a cop or a soldier, but this seems wrong on both a military and law enforcement persperctive. If they demonstrate exemplary qualifications or performance let the Police issue their own ribbons forn that. Military ribbons only belong on military uniforms.

My .02 worth.
