I have finally gotten duplicate medals from the Army to mount in my dad's flag display case. I would like to put them in in order of importance (if that's possible).

They are: The American Defense Service Medal

                  European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal & Bronze Star attachment (quadruple) & Arrowhead

                  WWII Victory Medal

                  Army of Occupation Medal & Germany Clasp

                  Marksman Badge & Rifle Bar

                   Army Lapel Button

Do I group the ribbons together with the medals underneath them, or do I display each ribbon with its corresponding medal?

Finally, although my father was wounded twice, the Purple Heart was not listed on his DD214, nor in the TACOM list. Anybody have insight into this? Do I need to make a separate inquiry for the Purple Heart?

Thanks for all your help.

This should be helpful to you. Congrats on getting that accomplished.
