Military Medals

The Tradition of Medals

Military medals have been used for centuries as a lasting symbol of both sacrifice and achievement. They provide an important link between those who serve and the people they protect. They signal achievements and meritorious service for generations to come. Awards such as the Congressional Medal of Honor represent the highest values of the United States military.

In the United States military, they were introduced around the time of the Civil War following the long-standing European tradition. UltraThin honors that rich history by using the finest quality materials and following an industry-leading quality control process. As a result, our medals and ribbons will stand the test of time.

 

Understanding Order
of Precedence

Continuing updates in military standards for medals requires a regular review of the appropriate standards. Staying compliant for inspections is the goal. It is helpful to have a professional source to verify. At UltraThin, our experts stay current on the latest publications in order to insure the correct order of precedence. Occasionally, one of our customers will request a variation. Our team will alert the customer and verify the alteration before proceeding with the order.

 

Precision Alignment
& Durability

Inspections require the confidence of knowing your military medals are accurately configured. In addition, the ornamentation attached to the ribbons must be securely attached and properly aligned. We cross check every medal and corresponding ornamentation for accuracy and durability. In addition, we securely package each award prior to shipping. The result is a satisfied customer.
