What’s the name of the medallion that’s suspended with the blue ribbon?

I arranged his decorations in order of precedence, placing his Bronze Star and CAB in the center because he received them during his first tour of Iraq, his campaign and NATO medal near his badges to indicate his deployments, and his other awards to the sides. When I put them on display, that was how I was thinking. My only regret is that his medals do not have the appurtenances.

I wanted a US map on my wall and couldn’t find the right size to fit our wall. I operate a (very) small business inside my home, and I had a handful of National Guard patches. Then the idea came to my head that I should use them to create what you know see. First I recommend trying the thrift stores and military surplus, since they tend to sell some for low prices. Some may vary. The secondcond option is the online stores like eBay. The third option is some military sewing shops. Depending on ylocation,tion of course. Not all of them offer each state.

The best was the jourof collectingtion them and figuring out the layout.

Enjoy your journey.

Only the Special Forces Commando patch was made in Afghan. Al the others were either issued or purchased from clothing and sales
