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.
