This is an example of the meritorious service medal with the signed award document. The meritorious service medal award document and the medal are framed together in a black wood frame. The meritorious service medal is framed with a design that uses triple acid-free/conservation grade mats. The mat colors match the colors in both the medal and the award. The top mat is an off-white linen textured mat. The medal is mounted to an off-white linen bottom mat. The award document is mounted to an acid-free reversible foamboard. Our signature V-groove surrounds the award document and the medal. We frame the meritorious service medal using conservation grade materials and techniques. This includes using 99% UV protective glass. There are a number of options available for custom framing the meritorious service medal. Some of these custom framing options include different mat colors and different style frame profiles. Additional framing options include placing small military memorabilia items inside the frame with the medal.
