it is illegal to wear those medals and lie about how you got them.

If someone asks you if they are your medals and you tell them that are, or if you tell them that you are in the millitary while you are in uniform and you aren't, If you are wearing name tapes, medals, or insignias and saying you are in whatever they signify you are involved in, then yes it is a federal crime.
