Can any of our currently serving US members help clarify this discussion for me. I have been out of the military since '03 and I never have heard the term "court mounted medals" before. I understand what everyone is saying in regards to what the term means, but as far as I know it is not allowed in the US military or for US vets for that matter. I could be wrong about this and just wanted to know if it is authorized by the US Army to mount your medals in such a fashion, even if we may use a different term for it. I am really just kind of curious about it, thanks in advance for any info.
