How to Mount Medals in a Track
- 1). Make sure that all of your medals are 3 1/4 inch in length. That's the minimum length a medal has to be to be properly mounted. If your medals need to be longer then attach new ribbons to them to make them the proper size.
- 2). Attach the ribbon of your medal to the track. Slide the ribbon onto the bar and once the ribbon is in place, secure it with a pin.
- 3). Keep mounting the ribbons onto the track according to military regulation; most important medals on the top, and worn in descending order from left to right. Medal tracks come in a variety of sizes, and you can buy them based on how many medals you're putting on the track.
