Wearing neck medallions at your retirement ceremony, acceptable or tacky?

Since my retirement ceremony is next month, I figured I'd get some external opinions.
I've seen Soldiers wear neck medallions to their retirement ceremony, but I'm curious as to public perception.
Part of me thinks it's a bit like public masturbation, the other part of me thinks it's fine, since the ceremony is about the totality of your service.
What are your thoughts?

Authorized under Army Regulation 670–1 - then go for it.
Wearing your German Volksmarch medallion - probably a bad idea.
You're retiring so if that's how you want to be remembered - what the hey - be that guy

You might be the only other person I've seen who knows the Volksmarch bling is "acceptance only". Well done, good sir.
