My personal mental handwaving theory is that he's not allowed to talk about it. At all. Because the mission was classified, and therefore him getting the medal would be classified too, right? I know there's websites out there detailing who has the Medal of Honor and why they got it, so it would be a little odd if he wore it and people went to look up what he did and couldn't find any record of it.
Of course, that's A) all kind of uber-complicated, and B) doesn't explain why Walter doesn't mention it. Hallucinating it would probably explain it better...
