TheMariner Posted March 18, 2019 Author Share #27 Posted March 18, 2019 I wouldn't assume those mounts are home made or done by the framer. Military uniform stores use a variety of techniques to mount medals, depending on which one you use. Some better than others. I had a set mounted at the uniform store in Newport RI and they used black electrical tape on the back...I kid you not. The uniform store at Little Creek VA hand sews them and does a beautiful job. Those actually look exactly like my Father in Law's mounted medals, red backing and all. He was also a 30 year career Marine and had his done at Parris Island SC when he retired in the early 90s. Thanks Kadet you have eased my worries about the mounting some! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclegrumpy Posted March 19, 2019 Share #28 Posted March 19, 2019 Also not too unusual. I've seen many instances where gravestones say "Vietnam" or " Korea" for personnel that never went overseas. The Monument Inscription forms for applying for military grave markers call these "War Periods" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
